Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Dondre Johnson v. the State of Texas

November 7, 2018560 S.W.3d 224

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals held that the Fort Worth Court of Appeals erred in its legal sufficiency analysis and reversed the acquittals, finding the evidence sufficient to support Appellant's theft convictions on both counts. The Court applied the proper standard of review—viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution and measuring it against a hypothetically correct jury charge.
