THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 8th Judicial District Court Hopkins County, Texas Trial Court No. 0820618 Before Morriss, C.J., Carter and Moseley, JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley MEMORANDUM OPINION Elijah Lorenzo Colbert appeals. 1 In this case, Colbert was convicted of engaging in organized criminal activity and sentenced to life in prison as a result of his participation with others in breaking into a pawnshop and stealing pistols. As with the companion prosecution, after investigation that centered police attention on certain individuals and resulted in the recovery of many of the stolen items, a participant admitted involvement and identified Colbert as one of the other robbers. At trial, several other witnesses provided testimony that corroborated the co-defendant s statements. Because the issues raised in each appeal are identical, for the reasons stated in our opinion dated this day in Colbert v. State, cause number 06-10-00028-CR, we affirm the judgment of the trial court. Bailey C.
