John Lloyd Chambers, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court granted the State's motion for rehearing, reversed the Court of Appeals' acquittal, and remanded for further consideration. It held that the proper standard for sufficiency review is the Jackson v. Virginia rational‑trier‑of‑fact test and that inadmissible hearsay admitted without objection possesses probative value and must be considered. The opinion also overruled prior authority that excluded such hearsay from sufficiency analysis. Separate dissenting opinions criticize the majority's approach.
