Ex Parte Manuel Amador, Appellant

Summary

The Court held that the Double Jeopardy Clause bars the State from obtaining a conviction for indecency with a child after the appellant was previously convicted of the lesser‑included offense of indecent exposure, reaffirming Briceno that indecent exposure is a lesser‑included offense of indecency with a child. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded for proceedings consistent with that holding. Justice Cochran filed a concurring opinion and Justice Keller filed a dissent arguing that two child‑victim counts could stand.
