Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Renrick Kennedy Martin, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
October 6, 19761976 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1063
Summary
The Court affirmed the aggravated robbery conviction, holding that the discrepancy between the complainant’s alleged given name “Dianna” and the proven name “Dina” is not a material variance under the doctrine of idem sonans, and therefore the trial judge’s denial of a directed verdict was proper.
