Whiten v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Whiten v. State, 151 S.W. 1182 (Tex. Crim. App. 1912)
Davidson

Whiten v. State

Opinion of the Court

DAVIDSON, P. J.

Appellant was convicted of manslaughter; his punishment being assessed at three years’ confinement in the penitentiary. This record is in the same condition as that in the case of Woolen v. State, 150 S. W. 1165, and Mayfield v. State, 151 S. W. 303, recently decided. For the reasons for holding the indictment defective in those cases, the indictment herein will also be held unwarranted by law. Therefore, the judgment is reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
