Description
Tim Daniel Tinlin was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under the age of 14. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.021 (Vernon 1994). Appellant was sentenced to fifty years in the Institutional Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice plus a $10,000 fine. On appeal, Appellant asserts eight points contending that the trial court improperly made a remark that was calculated to benefit the State, erroneously admitted evidence of an extraneous offense, erroneously denied Appellant the opportunity to discredit a punishment witness, denied Appellant the right to present a defense, improperly allowed the State to ask leading questions of the complaining witness, and erroneously admitted Appellant's written confession. Appellant also complains that the evidence was factually insufficient to sustain the verdict and that the cumulative effect of the complained of errors denied Appellant a fair trial. Because we find no reversible error, we affirm.
