Gipson v. State, 234 S.W. 912 (Tex. Crim. App. 1921)
1921 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 647
Hawkins
Gipson v. State
Opinion of the Court
This appeal was from conviction for murder, in which punishment was assessed at five years in the penitentiary.
By proper bills of exception it is made to appear that the grand jury which returned the indictment was composed of ten men and two women. Under authority of the case of Dick Harper v. State (No. 6369) 234 S. W. 909, recently decided, the indictment is void, and the judgment will be reversed, and the prosecution ordered dismissed.
