James Blackman, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals reversed the Court of Appeals, holding that the evidence was legally sufficient to support appellant Blackman's conviction for possession with intent to deliver cocaine because a rational juror could find an affirmative link between him and the contraband. The majority applied the Jackson v. Virginia standard and the Poindexter affirmative‑links rule, while a dissent argued the majority mischaracterized the appellate court's analysis.
