Thompson v. State
Thompson v. State
25 Tex. 395
Thompson v. State
Opinion of the Court
—The question in this case, upon which the right to be admitted to bail depends, is, whether the killing was premeditated and deliberate. The facts, as presented in the transcript, do not make a case in which the “proof is evident or presumption great” upon that point. The prisoner will therefore be admitted to bail, upon his entering into bond, with sufficient sureties, in the sum of $10,000. (See Atkinson v. The State, 20 Tex., 522.)
Ordered accordingly.
