Boston v. Texas (Original)
Annotate this CaseAppellant Ronald Glen Boston was found guilty of aggravated robbery and was sentenced to fifty-five years' imprisonment, conviction and sentence affirmed on appeal. The Supreme Court granted review to determine whether the Court of Appeals erred when it held that the victim was threatened or placed in fear of imminent bodily injury or death when the evidence showed that no threat was perceived by the victim. Because the Supreme Court concluded that a rational jury could have inferred that the victim was threatened and placed in fear, it affirmed the appellate court's judgment.
