On January 18, 2005, Horn signed a complaint alleging appellant had murdered the deceased. Appellant filed a motion to suppress his confession alleging that the arrest and detention were illegal and denied appellant his constitutional rights. Motion to Suppress Appellant's first issue is directed to the trial court's ruling on the motion to suppress appellant's statement.

RANDY WAYNE CHAPMAN v. STATE TEXAS (06/10/92)

For Appellant: Kay Davis, Assistant Criminal District Attorney, Randall County Courthouse, Canyon, Texas 79015. For Appellee: V. G. Kolius, Attorney at Law, 301 E. 7th, Amarillo, Texas 79101. Before Reynolds, C.j., and Boyd and Poff, JJ. Appellant Randy Wayne Chapman was found guilty of capital murder by a jury. In the first of two points of error, appellant contends that the State failed to prove all elements of the indictment because the State failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he caused the death of two individuals during the course of the same criminal transaction. In a written statement given to police appellant admitted killing two teenage boys on the evening of November 18, 1989. A person commits [capital murder] if he commits murder as defined under Section 19.02(a) (1) of this code*fn1 and the person murders more than one person during the same criminal transaction.
