1Opinion of the CourtEvelyn V. Keyes, Justice
A jury convicted appellant, Gregory Scott, of the first-degree felony offense of aggravated robbery and, after finding the allegations in two enhancement paragraphs true, assessed his punishment at sixty-five years' confinement.1 In two issues, appellant contends that the trial court erroneously (1) gave an unconstitutional explanation of "beyond a reasonable doubt" during voir dire; and (2) allowed a bailiff to testify during the punishment phase about appellant's absence from a portion of the guilt-innocence phase and the punishment phase.
We affirm.
