CLINTON, J.,
joins with the further observation that the plurality illserves our appellate jurisprudence by characterizing and dismissing Benson v. State, 661 S.W.2d 708 (Tex.Cr.App.1982) and Boozer v. State, 717 S.W.2d 608 (Tex.Cr.App.1984), as decisions involving “erroneous jury charges.” The rule is that evidentiary sufficiency is measured by the charge as given; in neither was the charge found “erroneous.” See Benson, at 714; Boozer, at 611.
OVERSTREET, J., joins.
