Shaun Adrian Jackson v. State, 530 S.W.3d 738

At ~8:00 a.m., Deputy Constable David Vest pursued a small blue Mazda that sped through a school zone; Vest activated lights/siren and dashcam recorded pursuit.
Vest saw a male driver and female passenger; during a traffic block on I-10 the Mazda rammed the patrol car; Vest made eye contact with the driver and later identified appellant Shaun Jackson at trial.
Shortly after the pursuit ended, the damaged Mazda drove onto John Graham’s business property; Graham saw a man exit the driver’s side, walk to the trunk within inches of him, and later identified appellant at the scene.
Officers found appellant and a woman hiding under a house within a short distance and returned them to Graham’s facility where Graham identified them.
Vest later identified appellant at the constable’s station (~8.5 hours after the pursuit). Appellant was convicted by a jury for evading arrest with a motor vehicle.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument (State)	Defendant's Argument (Jackson)	Held
Whether evidence is legally sufficient to prove Jackson was the Mazda’s driver	Vest’s in-court ID, Graham’s eyewitness ID, circumstantial facts (damage, flight, hiding) suffice to prove driver identity beyond a reasonable doubt	Identification unreliable: Vest had limited opportunity/attention during pursuit, inconsistent dispatch description, delay between event and ID; Biggers factors show unreliability	Court: Evidence is legally sufficient; jury could credit IDs and circumstantial evidence and resolve inconsistencies in favor of verdict
