Keith Dwight Manning, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that a prior, unvacated adjudication of incompetency was shown, thereby shifting the burden to the State to prove competency beyond a reasonable doubt; it also held that the trial court's instruction that the burden was a preponderance of the evidence was incorrect and remanded for a new competency hearing. Justice ONION dissented, arguing insufficient evidence of an unvacated prior adjudication.
