May 18, 2005.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stan Schwieger, Waco, TX, for Appellant.

Betty Marshall, Asst. State Atty., Matthew Paul, State's Atty., Austin, for State.


KELLER, P.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, joined by PRICE, WOMACK, JOHNSON, KEASLER, HERVEY, HOLCOMB, and COCHRAN, JJ. MEYERS, J. did not participate.

The question in this case is whether a switchblade knife, that was viewed by the fact-finder and introduced into evidence, was a deadly weapon by design. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient to show that it was. Consequently, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals.
