Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Antonio Manrique, Appellant v. the State of Texas

May 19, 19991999 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 50

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that, as a matter of Texas law, Manrique was not punished twice for the same offense and affirmed both convictions. It found the evidence sufficient to support the attempted murder convictions, rejecting the Court of Appeals' reversal of the second judgment. A concurring opinion agreed with the result but criticized the majority's reliance on transferred intent and the mixing of evidentiary sufficiency with double jeopardy analysis.
