KEVIN VANCE EDIC v. THE STATE OF TEXAS (Dissenting Statement)
Annotate this Case
IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS
OF TEXAS
NO. PD-0623-11
KEVIN VANCE EDIC, Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS
ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
FROM THE FIFTH COURT OF APPEALS
DALLAS COUNTY
Meyers, J., filed a dissenting statement.
DISSENTING STATEMENT
I would grant Appellant's petition for discretionary review and affirm the court of appeals. While I agree with the decision of the court of appeals, I do not feel that the issue raised by Appellant was fully addressed in the opinion. We have determined that a threat under the retaliation statute can be communicated to the person being threatened through a third party, however, we have never considered whether the complainant must have knowledge of the threat. Because this is an issue we should deliberate, I respectfully dissent to the Court's decision to refuse Appellant's petition for discretionary review.
Meyers, J.
