Hubert Richard Spradling, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed the appellant's convictions for failure to stop and render aid under Article 6701d, holding that multiple prosecutions for each victim do not violate the Double Jeopardy Clause because the statute permits separate offenses for each injured person and legislative intent, not the Blockburger test, governs the allowable unit of prosecution. The opinion also notes that the dissenting judges argue the opposite.
