2001See Johnson v. State , 23 S.W.3d 1, 6-7 (Tex.Crim.App. 2000) (en banc); Kutzner v. State , 994 S.W.2d 180, 184 (Tex.Crim.App. 1999).

2000The gist of appellant’s second claim is that not only was the evidence insufficient to establish the intent element but that it was also factually insufficient to establish that the gun was used “in a manner that death or serious bodily injury would result from its use.” In determining a factual insufficiency claim, we do not view all the evidence “in the light most favorable to the prosecution,” but may only set aside the verdict if it is “so contrary to the overwhelming weight of the evidence as to be clearly wrong and unjust.” Kutzner v.
