Description
Appellant, David Gilbert Burns, was charged by indictment with the offense of aggravated sexual assault of a child. A jury found appellant guilty, and the trial court assessed punishment at 65 years' confinement. Appellant, in four points of error, contends that (1) his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance by failing to object to hearsay testimony; (2) the trial court erred by allowing a psychologist to testify that, in her expert opinion, complainant was truthful in alleging that appellant sexually assaulted her; (3) the trial court erred by permitting a psychologist to testify over objection that appellant promised not to sexually assault complainant's sister if complainant kept quiet; and (4) the trial court allowed improper jury argument comparing this case to other cases involving other defendants. We affirm.
