Description
Appellant, Sherrand Owens Williams ("Williams"), appeals his conviction for capital murder. The jury found that Williams conspired with others to rob a pawn shop and that a victim was shot and killed in furtherance of that conspiracy. In nine points of error, Williams contends: (1) the trial court erred by admitting a witness's pretrial identification; (2) the trial court erred by failing to designate two witnesses as accomplices as a matter of law; (3) the evidence is insufficient to corroborate the accomplice witnesses' testimony; (4) the evidence is factually insufficient to show that Williams should have anticipated the murder as a result of the robbery in view of his age; (5) the trial court erred in admitting repeated references to Williams's gang affiliation; (6) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of unrelated crimes committed by third parties with guns stolen in the course of the robbery; (7) the trial court abused its discretion in trying Williams with a co-defendant; and (8) the racial imbalance of the jury denied appellant the right to a trial by his peers. We overrule each of Williams's contentions and affirm the trial court's judgment. We detail the facts only as they become relevant in addressing Williams's points of error.
