Kerry Andrus Crocker, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee

Summary

The Court affirmed appellant’s conviction for castration, holding that the multiple radiation exposures constituted a single criminal transaction and that the State was not required to elect among the individual incidents. It also found the expert testimony established causation in reasonable medical probability, satisfying the criminal burden of proof, and concluded that the specific child‑injury statute did not preclude conviction under the castration statute. The concurrence by Judge Douglas agreed with the majority and reiterated that the proof of causation met the beyond‑reasonable‑doubt standard.
