Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Ex Parte Walter Alvin Goodbread, Sr.
March 25, 19981998 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 46
Summary
The Court held that double jeopardy bars only those offenses for which proof was offered at trial, so the thirteen new indictments are not barred; it also affirmed that an indictment alleging "on or about" a date charges any offense within the statutory limitations period. Justice Baird concurred in part and dissented in part, arguing that the sexual intercourse and oral sex offenses are barred, while Justice Meyers fully concurred.
