AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - An Amarillo manâs murder case remains in limbo after the state won an appeal yesterday.
Spielbauer was convicted in 2018 and sentenced to life in prison with a $10,000 fine.
In the Courtâs decision to reverse the conviction, they ruled the judge abused their discretion by not allowing his defense attorney to challenge some members of the jury pool.
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals agreed yesterday with prosecutors that there werenât any errors in picking jurors.
