Description

Robert Wincott was indicted on three counts of engaging in organized criminal activity based on three alleged acts of aggravated robbery. See Tex. Pen. Code Ann. § 71.02 (West Supp. 2001). Wincott pleaded not guilty to all charges. The jury found Wincott guilty on two counts of aggravated robbery and one count of organized criminal activity, and assessed punishment at three concurrent prison terms of ninety-nine years each. Both parties agree that Wincotts conviction turned on accomplice testimony. Wincott challenges the admission of testimony of a police officer who allegedly testified as a "Truth Expert" in support of the accomplice. With or without the officers testimony, Wincott argues that the evidence was legally insufficient to satisfy article 38.14 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 38.14 (West 1979). Because we hold that the accomplice testimony was insufficiently corroborated, we reverse and render judgment of acquittal.
