Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Jacquelyn Thompson v. the State of Texas, Appellee
October 9, 19851985 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1478
Summary
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that the indictment was fundamentally defective because it failed to allege a culpable mental state for the appellant, and therefore ordered the indictment dismissed; it also found the circumstantial evidence sufficient to support a conviction as a party, but that finding did not affect the dismissal.
