OPINION

ADELE HEDGES, Chief Justice.

Appellant, Richard Longoria, appeals from his conviction for capital murder. A jury found appellant guilty and he was sentenced to imprisonment for life. On appeal, appellant contends that (1) the evidence was legally and factually insufficient to support the verdict, (2) the evidence was insufficient to corroborate accomplice witness testimony, (3) the court erred in its charge submission, (4) the court erred in refusing to hold a healing on his motion for new trial, and (5) the prosecutor made numerous improper jury arguments. We affirm.
