Hodges v. State

The Court of Criminal Appeals or its judges-are not the triers of facts and are not at liberty to substitute their findings for those of the jury. Only where the evidence, viewed in its strongest light from the standpoint of the state, fails to'make guilt' reasonably' certain' is .the appellate court authorized to set aside-a conviction for insufficiency of the evidence.
