Robert Huffman, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals held that charging the jury with the three statutory methods of "failure to stop and render aid" in a disjunctive instruction does not violate the constitutional requirement of a unanimous verdict because the methods are alternate means of committing a single offense. Accordingly, the State's petition was granted, the appellant's petition was dismissed, and the lower court's judgment was affirmed. Several concurring justices joined, agreeing with the result but offering additional grammatical analysis.
