Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

John Michael Watson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 15, 19801980 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1400

Summary

The Court reversed the judgment and remanded because the trial court improperly admitted reputation testimony without a proper predicate, but affirmed that the evidence was sufficient to prove all elements of aggravated robbery. A dissent and a partial concurrence also argued that the trial court should have instructed on the lesser included offense of aggravated assault.
