Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Franklin D. Moore, Appellants v. the State of Texas, Appellee

January 21, 1976532 S.W.2d 333

Summary

The Court held that the indictment was fundamentally defective for failing to describe the stolen property with sufficient specificity, violating Article I, Sec. 10 of the Texas Constitution, and that the circumstantial evidence presented was insufficient to meet the moral certainty standard. Accordingly, the convictions were reversed and dismissed.
