Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Lloyd Edward Sanders, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

April 2, 19861986 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1232

Summary

The Court affirmed the conviction, holding that the trial court properly refused to give a jury instruction on a "good faith purchase" defense because such a claim negates participation rather than constituting an affirmative defense. The Court also overruled Stokes and Cozby, finding they were incorrectly decided under the modern Penal Code.
