Antonio Manrique, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that Antonio Manrique was not punished twice for the same offense and therefore his double jeopardy claim fails; both convictions for attempted murder were affirmed. The Court affirmed the sufficiency of the evidence to support each conviction, rejecting the lower court's reliance on a transferred intent instruction. The opinion also affirmed the Court of Appeals' decision on the first indictment and reversed its reversal of the second, leaving both judgments intact. Justice Meyers, in a concurring opinion, agreed with the result but criticized the majority's analysis of transferred intent and the mixing of evidentiary sufficiency with double jeopardy review.
