Description
This is an appeal from a conviction for possession of marihuana. The appellant, after being duly admonished, entered a plea
of guilty before the court and punishment was assessed at seven years. At the outset, appellant contends that the evidence is insufficient to support the conviction. Appellant urges Drain v. State,
465 S.W.2d 939 and Elliott v. State, 466 S.W.2d 562 for the proposition that the oral stipulations dictated into the record
by the State in the instant case cannot be considered as evidence to support the plea of guilty. The record reflects that
appellant was tried on May 19, 1971 prior to the June 15, 1971 effective date of the amendment to Art. 1.15, V.A.C.C.P., providing
for oral stipulations.1 Thus, the conviction herein could not stand if it were dependent upon oral stipulations.
