Gordon v. State
Gordon v. State
Opinion of the Court
Adultery is the offense; the punishment, a fine of $600.
The state relied upon three acts of intercourse without a living together to constitute “habitual carnal intercourse,” within the meaning of Art. 499, V.A.P.C.
The only evidence of the commission of acts of intercourse on June 5 and June 8, 1960, is found in appellant’s confession.
Because the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction, the judgment is reversed and the cause is remanded.
