Dissenting Opinion

MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

I would issue the writ to review the record to determine whether the evidence was indeed insufficient to support a verdict of guilty.

After that review, I might agree with the Court of Criminal Appeals; but I would review the evidence before I would agree to set aside the conviction and render a judgment for the defendant.

Opinion of the Court

SHORES, Justice.

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and ALMON, HOUSTON and INGRAM, JJ„ concur. MADDOX, STEAGALL and KENNEDY, JJ., dissent.
