Koontz v. State
Texas Court of Appeals
868 S.W.2d 27 (1993)
- Written by Liz Nakamura, JD
Facts
Conald Koontz (defendant) was part of a large group of masked men who committed a nighttime robbery of a home. Koontz was charged with aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon. At trial, Koontz admitted that he entered the victim’s garage and home as part of the group of masked men; however, Koontz denied personally assaulting the victim or taking any of the victim’s property. The jury convicted Koontz, finding that he was an accomplice to the aggravated robbery. Koontz was sentenced to 32 years in prison. Koontz appealed, arguing that there was insufficient evidence to establish that he aided in the commission of the robbery.
