OSCAR RENE BENAVIDEZ v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (dissenting)

Annotate this Case
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS 
OF TEXAS 

NO. PD-1551-09
OSCAR RENE BENAVIDEZ, Appellant
v. 
THE STATE OF TEXAS 
ON STATE'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
FROM THE THIRTEENTH COURT OF APPEALS 
HIDALGO COUNTY 
Hervey, J., filed a dissenting opinion in which Keller, P.J., joined.
DISSENTING OPINION

I respectfully dissent. I agree with the Court's decision that "the court of appeals was not justified in ordering the entry of an acquittal." Maj. op. at 6. I also agree with the Court's decision that this case should be remanded to the court of appeals. Maj. op. at 9. I believe that the Court should, however, simply remand this case to the court of appeals for further proceedings not inconsistent with its opinion.

I respectfully dissent.

Hervey, J.
