Lawyers for the two men convicted of capital murder for the 1991murders of four teenage girls in an Austin Yogurt shop said the verdicts should be overturned.
Lawyers for Robert Springsteen IV and Michael Scott point to a recent Supreme Court ruling. The decision upheld criminal defendants' constitutional rights to cross-examine witnesses against them.
Springsteen and Scott were convicted based on confessions that implicated each other.
Statements from both men were introduced at each other's trials, but defense attorneys said the fact that they were not allowed to cross-examine violated their clients' Sixth Amendment rights.
Springsteen was sent to death row. Scott is serving life in prison.
