Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Edith Reynolds, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

May 3, 19721972 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 2312

Summary

The Court reversed the murder conviction, holding that the accomplice testimony of the daughter was not sufficiently corroborated by other evidence. It explained the test for corroboration and found the record lacking. A dissent argued that the circumstantial evidence was sufficient and that the conviction should be affirmed.
