Donald Lynn Ramsey, A.k.a. Donald Lynn Ramsay, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court held that the evidence was legally sufficient for a rational jury to infer that Ramsey knew the check was forged and passed it with intent to harm or defraud another. It reversed the court of appeals and reinstated the forgery conviction because that court failed to evaluate the combined force of the evidence and reasonable inferences in the light most favorable to the verdict. Meyers, J., dissenting, agreed that the evidence showed intent to defraud but would have found the evidence insufficient to prove that Ramsey intended to defraud the specifically charged individual rather than the business.
