TUCKER v. STATE

No. PD-0742-07.

274 S.W.3d 688 (2008)

Marcus Lee TUCKER, Appellant, v. The STATE of Texas.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

Rehearing Denied January 28, 2009.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Bob Wicoff, Houston, TX, for Appellant.

Eric Kugler, Asst. Dist. Atty., Houston, TX, Jeffrey L. Van Horn, State's Atty., Austin, for State.

KELLER, P.J., delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court.

Appellant used a knife or some other sharp object to stab and cut the victim numerous times. The question here is whether the evidence was legally sufficient to show that the object that caused the wounds was a deadly weapon in the manner of its use or intended use. Answering that question "yes," we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals.
