Chandler v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

230 S.W.2d 526 (Tex. Crim. App. 1950)

Opinion

No. 24643.

May 31, 1950.

Appeal from District Court, Lamb County, C. D. Russell, J.

None on appeal for appellant.

George P. Blackburn, State's Atty., of Austin, for the state.


It now appears that by special requested charge, the trial court did, in fact, instruct the jury upon the law of aggravated assault and intent to kill.

It was upon the failure to instruct upon these defenses that we ordered a reversal of the case.

Being in error in the conclusion reached, the state's motion for rehearing is granted, the former opinion granting appellant's motion for rehearing is withdrawn, and appellant's motion for rehearing is overruled.

Opinion approved by the court.
