Description
Sam Houston CLINTON, Judge Opinion ON STATE'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW In an unpublished per curiam opinion the Dallas Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of conviction for murder and remanded the cause for a new trial. Its reason: Because appellant testified that the deceased threatened to kill him and reached into his back pocket for what appellant thought was a gun, and appellant feared for his life, appellant was entitled to a charge on voluntary manslaughter. Medlock v. State, 591 S.W.2d 485 (Tex.Crim.App. 1979); Roberts v. State, 590 S.W.2d 498 (Tex.Crim.App. 1979).
