Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Bernard Battle, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

September 20, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1244

Summary

The Court reversed the trial court's orders revoking appellant's probation, holding that the State failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that appellant violated the probation condition, as the evidence consisted only of his presence at the scene and did not exclude reasonable hypotheses of innocence.
