How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- recognizing that felony murder is “an unintentional murder committed in the course of committing a felony”
- concluding that the jury could not have reasonably inferred acts “where there was no evidence of any such acts”
- holding that while a jury is allowed to draw reasonable inferences, it cannot simply speculate or theorize about the possible meaning of the evidence (citing Hooper, 214 S.W.3d at 15)
- finding no “act” in the starvation of a child, reversing a felony murder conviction, and reforming the judgment to reflect a conviction for injury to a child
