Anderson v. Texas (Original)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Rodney Anderson was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, and aggravated assault of a public servant. The jury found him guilty, and he was sentenced to 40 years for the possession offense, and life imprisonment for the aggravated assault. Appellant appealed, arguing that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction of aggravated assault of a public servant. The court of appeals held that a rational jury could find that Appellant was guilty of aggravated assault of a public servant under the conspiracy theory of party liability. After granting appellant's petition for discretionary review, the Supreme Court concluded that the evidence was sufficient to support appellant's conviction for the aggravated assault charge under the conspiracy theory of the law of parties. Therefore the Court affirmed the appellate court's decision.
