Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Arcadio (harvey) Ysasaga, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 28, 19691969 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1038

Summary

The Court reversed the burglary conviction because the circumstantial evidence, including the alleged possession of stolen Treflan and the appellant's flight, was insufficient to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The opinion also held that the accomplice testimony required corroboration and that the prosecution failed to present available evidence, warranting reversal and remand.
