Bufford Lenell McDonald, Alias Joe McDonald, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction for sodomy, rejecting the appellant's nineteen asserted errors. The court held that the warrantless arrest was lawful, the indictment sufficient, the evidence adequate, penetration not required, the charge date acceptable, the child witness not an accomplice, extraneous offenses admissible, and prior convictions admissible, and it upheld the constitutionality of the underlying statute.
