Santos Mireles, Jr. v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Thirteenth Court of Appeals' acquittal and reinstated the conviction for indecency with a child, holding that the evidence was sufficient to prove the offense occurred "on or about" December 15, 1990. The decision rests on the view that the phrase does not require a precise date and that the jury could rationally infer the offense within the statutory limitation period. Justice Meyers dissented, and Judges Baird and Clinton filed separate opinions.
