Description
At the outset, appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction. Charles Henderson, attendant on duty at the "Stop N Go" drive-in grocery on East 19th Street, Austin, testified that he was at the cash register counting money on January 23, 1971, when he saw appellant and four other men "come from around the building," walk in front of the store and enter single file to the counter where he was standing. One of the men asked for a package of "Kools" and as Henderson turned around to get the cigarettes, he was shot in the left shoulder. Upon attempting to turn back to the counter, Henderson was shot three more times after which he fell to the floor and "played dead." Henderson was unable to tell which of the men shot him, but stated from the way the men were positioned at the counter, it would have only been possible for three of the men (one of whom was appellant) to have fired the shots. While Henderson was on the floor, he could hear money being taken from the cash register. Nolan Cobb, a representative of "StopNGo" stores testified that One Hundred and Thirty-One Dollars was taken.
