texapp · 1994 · cited in 1 Texas opinions naming this issue, 2011–2011
2 sentences

2011This Court noted in Tran that the fact that the witness entered the sandwich shop where the shooting took place “may be evidence of an affirmative act in assisting the commission of a crime by preventing members of complainant’s group from escaping.” Id.

2011Similarly to Roof , this Court held in Tran v. State that an accomplice-in-fact instruction was appropriate where at least three members of the defendant’s group had guns, the witness understood that the defendant and others planned to shoot at least one person, the witness did not disclose the defendant’s plans, the witness went along to the scene of the crime, and the witness did not seek medical help after the shooting occurred even though he was wounded. 870 S.W.2d 654, 657 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1994, pet. ref’d).
