Cary v. Texas

Appellant Stacy 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. Her sentence was probated, but she was ordered to serve 30 days’ confinement as a condition of her probation. A split panel of the Court of Appeals affirmed her convictions. She alleged on appeal that the evidence was legally insufficient to support her convictions, and that the trial court reversibly erred when it excluded certain evidence. Because the Court of Criminal Appeals sustained her first and fourth grounds (regarding insufficiency of the evidence), the Court will reversed and rendered an acquittal on each count and did not reach the other three grounds for review.
