November 16, 19831983 Tex. Crim. App. LEXIS 1242

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas affirmed Johnny Fancher’s conviction for aggravated rape of a child, holding that the evidence of serious bodily injury was sufficient, the jury charge was not reversible, the warrantless search was valid based on third‑party consent, the confession was admissible because no objection was made at trial, and mitigation testimony about prison conditions was improperly excluded.
