Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Perry Como Denby, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 16, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 951

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed Perry Como Denby's felony theft conviction and directed a judgment of acquittal because the evidence was insufficient as a matter of law to prove he knowingly appropriated the bank's money. The Court held that the State failed to establish the essential element of intent, and a concurrence affirmed the standard of review applied.
