December 19, 19791979 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1800

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Oscar Carrillo's felony theft conviction, holding that the evidence sufficiently corroborated the accomplice testimony and supported his liability as a principal. The court also upheld the trial court's jury instructions on principals and the admission of extraneous offense evidence. Justice Phillips filed a concurring opinion noting the need to clarify the standard for admissibility of extraneous offenses.
