Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Jude Walter Broussard, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

October 20, 19821982 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1080

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the robbery conviction, holding that the jury instruction allowing a verdict of robbery even if the defendant was acquitted of capital murder was proper because robbery is a lesser‑included offense of capital murder under Texas law and the evidence supported such a conviction.
