Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Del Moore, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
December 13, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1427
Summary
The Court reversed the conviction for involuntary manslaughter and remanded because the trial court erred by refusing to submit a lesser‑included charge of criminally negligent homicide. The Court held that the evidence raised a factual issue as to the appropriate mental state, requiring a jury instruction on the lesser offense.
