PETTY v. STATE

No. 33950.

352 S.W.2d 285 (1961)

Roscoe PETTY, Appellant, v. STATE of Texas, Appellee.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

November 29, 1961.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leland D. Sutton, Abilene (On Appeal Only), for appellant.

Leon B. Douglas, State's Atty., Austin, for the State.


MORRISON, Judge.

The offense is assault with intent to murder; the punishment, six years.

The State's evidence reflects that appellant without any provocation stabbed the injured party in the stomach with a knife which penetrated four inches and cut the small intestine in five places. The doctor who treated the injured party described the wound as one which, without prompt medical care, would probably have resulted in death from the loss of blood.
