Ex parte Cedric Richardson (original by judge yeary)
Annotate this CaseAt issue before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in this case was whether the doctrine of collateral estoppel precluded the State from prosecuting appellant Cedric Richardson for the aggravated assault of one victim after a jury acquitted him of capital murder, and aggravated robbery of a different victim. Both victims were shot by co-defendant Keoddrick Polk on the same day—and Appellant was present at the scene of both shootings. The Court of Criminal Appeals concluded that collateral estoppel (i.e., Double Jeopardy) did not apply in this case. The Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals which held to the contrary.
