Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
Kerry Andrus Crocker, Appellant v. the State of Texas, Appellee
May 10, 19781978 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1154
Summary
The Court affirmed appellant's conviction for castration, holding that the multiple radiation exposures constituted a single criminal transaction and therefore did not require the State to elect among individual incidents, that the evidence established causation by reasonable medical probability, and that the specific child‑injury statute did not preclude conviction under the castration statute. Justice Odom concurred, emphasizing that the causation standard should be limited to reasonable medical probability.
