Robert Allan Jorgensen v. State

Jorgensen · Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Judicial District of Texas at Eastland · June 14, 2017 · No. 11-17-00090-CR

Summary

This document is an appellant's brief in a Texas criminal appeal from the revocation of community supervision. The appellant argues that the evidence was insufficient to establish resisting arrest and that due process requires proof of probation violations beyond a reasonable doubt. The brief requests reversal and remand for a new revocation or punishment hearing.

Questions Presented

  1. Whether the trial court abused its discretion by finding that Jorgensen committed resisting arrest and revoking his community supervision.
  2. Whether due process requires the State to prove every community-supervision violation beyond a reasonable doubt rather than by a preponderance of the evidence.
