Billy Joe Wyatt v. State
Texas Court of Appeals, 14th District (Houston)
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
SHARON McCALLY, Justice.
Appellant Billy Joe Wyatt was convicted of three counts of aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced appellant to twenty-two years’ confinement for each count and ordered the sentences to run concurrently. Appellant urges on appeal that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction based on a theory of party liability, in part, because the record contains no evidence showing that appellant knew or should have known a firearm would be used. We reverse appellant’s conviction on all three counts and render a judgment of acquittal.
