Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Cameron Moon, Appellant v. the State of Texas
December 10, 20142014 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1918
Summary
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment that the juvenile court's waiver of jurisdiction was an abuse of discretion, vacating the adult conviction. It held that appellate courts may apply factual‑sufficiency review to the juvenile court's transfer order, that seriousness of the offense alone does not justify waiver, and that review is limited to the reasons expressly set out in the written order.
