Description
Following an early morning skirmish between two vehicles, the passenger in a white Jeep fatally shot the driver of a red Nissan. The fourteen-year-old passenger, Skyler Miller, pleaded guilty to the murder and was sentenced to confinement for twenty-five years. *fn1 His eldest brother, Shane Miller, was driving the Jeep. The State alleged that appellant was criminally responsible as a party because his driving facilitated the shooting. The jury found appellant guilty of murder and the trial court sentenced him to serve thirty years in prison. On appeal, Shane Miller contends that the evidence is legally and factually insufficient to establish that he had the intent to promote or assist his brother's commission of the offense. He also complains that the trial court erred in denying his motion for mistrial. We hold that any error regarding the motion for mistrial was not preserved, and that the evidence is legally and factually sufficient to uphold the conviction.
