Fritz v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided October 18, 1916 · Pbehdebgast
188 S.W.2d 978; 80 Tex. Crim. 116; 188 S.W. 978; 1916 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 262 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

Fritz v. State

Opinion of the Court

PBEHDEBGAST, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was convicted of a simple assault and fined $5.

The sole question is whether or not the evidence was suEcient to sustain the conviction. The testimony of the State’s witnesses was clearly suEcient to sustain the conviction. That of the defendant was clearly suEcient to show that he was not guilty. The case was tried before the judge without a jury. He saw and heard all the witnesses testify, and, of course, was better able to tell who was telling the truth than this court can possibly be.

We are not authorized to disturb the verdict, and the judgment is aErmed.

Affirmed.
