Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Robert Huffman, Appellant v. the State of Texas

October 1, 20082008 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1180

Summary

The Court held that the three statutory methods in the failure‑to‑stop and render aid statute are alternate ways of committing a single offense, so the disjunctive jury charge did not violate the constitutional unanimity requirement; therefore the petition for discretionary review was dismissed and the Court of Appeals judgment was affirmed. The opinion was joined by several concurring opinions that agreed with the result but offered additional grammatical analysis.
