Legal Opinion

Cannon v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas

Decided February 5, 1919No. 5073Published

The opinion states the case.

1Opinion

I think the evidence showing possession of another animal with brand changed, under the circumstances developed, was admissible. The charge on explanation of possession of property recently stolen seems to have been uncalled for. See Dobbs v. State,57 Tex. Crim. 55, and other cases mentioned in the opinion of the Presiding Judge. On this ground I concur in the reversal of the case.
