Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas, 1964

King v. State

King v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas · Decided June 17, 1964 · McDonald
379 S.W.2d 907; 1964 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1022 (South Western Reporter, Second Series)

King v. State

Opinion

McDonald, judge.

Appellant was convicted of murder and given a term of twenty-five (25) years in the state penitentiary.

It has been made known to this court by proper affidavit that appellant died on or about May 12, 1964, after having perfected his appeal. The death of the appellant deprives this court of jurisdiction of the appeal.

Therefore our prior opinion in this cause is withdrawn and the appeal abated.
