Convicted cop killer Brandon McCall of Richardson has filed his appeal, trying to overturn his death sentence.
It was in 2018 that Brandon McCall killed one man then lured police into his apartment, then ambushed and murdered Richardson Police officer David Sherrard.
The jury sentenced McCall to death in February of 2020, triggering a direct appeal to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
In nine points, McCall is claiming his trial was unfair largely because of problems with the jury selection. McCall is claiming that prospective jurors were improperly dismissed with the net result an unfair jury.
He is also claiming that the definition of mitigating evidence, items in his favor, was unconstitutional and that there were federal violations.
The court has not yet set the case for argument.
