Description
These are appeals from convictions for aggravated robbery. The jury assessed punishment for appellant Dominique at five years and for appellant Mims at ten years. Both appellants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to prove the allegation that they used and exhibited a deadly weapon. Ellis Fairchild, a security supervisor at the Gatesville School for Boys, testified that he had transported a number of boys from one of the Gatesville units to the infirmary. He was returning four of the boys, including the appellants, to their unit in a van when one, a boy named Tim Hansen, grabbed him around the neck. Fairchild felt a sharp instrument at his throat and heard Hansen say, Give it to me or I'll kill you. Two in the back said, If you will drag him back here we will take care of him. Fairchild managed to slip out of Hansen's grasp and get out of the van. He tried to reach back in and grab the keys but Hansen was swinging the sharp instrument at him. Fairchild's injuries were a scratch on his throat and cuts on his right hand and bicep. Fairchild also identified Mims and Dominique as participants in the robbery. He was unable to identify the sharp instrument. Hansen testified for the State that the sharp instrument was a pair of suture scissors.
