A grand jury indicted J.B. Black for insurance fraud. Following his not guilty plea, the case was tried to a jury, which found Black guilty. The trial court sentenced Black to 10 years’ confinement. After his conviction Black appealed asserting multiple claims that the trial court erred and in J.B. Black v. The State Of Texas, NO. 01-20-00178-CR, Court of Appeals For The First District of Texas (July 13, 2021) the Court of Appeals was asked to keep Black out of jail.

ZALMA OPINION

Texas refused to honor Black’s spurious claims of error since the evidence proved that in Texas the quality of insurance fraud perpetrators is woefully inadequate. Purchasing insurance the day after reporting the theft and making a claim the next day is stupid. Pursuing the claim, after the insurer discovers that the policy was not in effect on the date the car was claimed stolen, is silly. Appealing the conviction with such overwhelming evidence of fraud is contumacious. The Texas Court of Appeal wasted a great deal of time overruling all of Black’s arguments was honorable but unnecessary.  Black should enjoy his stay at the gray bar hotel.
