Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Randolph Wilson, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

March 23, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 966

Summary

The Court reversed Randolph Wilson's theft conviction, holding that the circumstantial evidence was insufficient because it did not exclude every reasonable hypothesis except his guilt. The majority applied the Sewell standard, while a dissent argued for deference to the intermediate court and two concurrences agreed with the reversal but offered additional commentary.
