Cary v. Texas

David Cary was convicted by a jury of six counts of bribery, one count of money laundering, and one count of engaging in organized criminal activity. His punishment was given fourteen years’ confinement on each count to run concurrently with one day credit. He appealed the convictions, and a unanimous panel of the court of appeals found that there was insufficient evidence to support his convictions, entering an acquittal on each count. The issue in this case for the Court of Criminal Appeals' review was whether the court of appeals misapplied the standard for legal sufficiency. The Court concluded that it did not, and affirmed the judgment of the court of appeals. View "Cary v. Texas" on Justia Law
