Garcia v. State

OPINION

BROWN, Commissioner.

This is an appeal from a conviction for attempted murder under V.T.C.A. Penal Code, Sec. 15.01 and Sec. 19.02. Appellant was tried before a jury which found him guilty. Punishment, enhanced under V.T. C.A. Penal Code, Sec. 12.42, was assessed by the court at life in the Texas Department of Corrections.

In his first ground of error appellant contends that it was error for the trial court to overrule his motion for an instructed verdict of not guilty because the evidence failed to establish that appellant had the “specific intent” to kill.

The record in this case…
