She didn’t look that old. Didn’t act it either.

Stricker v. State (Unpublished Memo): Robbery met “aggravated”  threshold because the victim was 65 or older. Tex. Penal Code Ann. §§ 29.02(a)(2), 29.03(a)(3)(A).  As a result, Stricker’s appeal on grounds that he didn’t use a deadly weapon is pointless.  Stricker’s life sentence (he had priors) is affirmed.

I go to church with the victim.  She’s a nice doctor’s wife.  She doesn’t look anything near 65.  She does look like trouble, though.  Why would I say such a thing?  It’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Mary G. was minding her own business, buying gas at the Brookshire’s in the Azalea District here in Tyler.  Stricker comes up on her in broad daylight, threatens her with a knife, and tells her to hand over the keys to the new SUV.  She complies.  But only for a second. In the time it took Stricker to go around to the driver’s side, Mary G. went from scared to mad.  Mel Gibson, Lethal Weapon, I’m-crazier-than-you-are mad.  She opened up the passenger’s side door, stuck the pump in, and soaked him.  Stricker hauled out of there (that crazy lady might have a lighter!).  He didn’t get far.  The vehicle had GPS.
