Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Jared Daniel Littrell, Appellant v. the State of Texas
October 15, 20082008 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1306
Summary
The Court held that aggravated robbery is a lesser‑included offense of the felony‑murder charge and therefore the double‑jeopardy clause bars punishing the appellant for both offenses; the aggravated‑robbery conviction was set aside while the felony‑murder conviction was affirmed. Justice Keller dissented, arguing the offenses are not the same under Blockburger.
