Wilson v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 5th District (Dallas)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
KINKEADE, Justice.
Alvin Wilson appeals his conviction for theft from a corpse. After a bench trial, the court assessed Wilson’s punishment at seven years’ confinement. In two points of error, Wilson contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction. Because there is insufficient evidence to support Wilson’s conviction, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and render a judgment of acquittal.
