State v. Cash

Summary

The court held that the State could appeal the order sustaining the defendants’ double-jeopardy plea because the plea was sustained before a jury was impaneled for retrial. It further held that the defendants had not waived review of the trial evidence and that the evidence, viewed under the legal-sufficiency standard, supported their convictions as principals or aiders and abettors. The order granting the plea and directing acquittals was therefore reversed, and the case was remanded for further proceedings.
