Charles E. Blake v. State of Mississippi

MAXWELL, JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT:

¶ 1. Charles Blake was convicted of sexually battering a seven-year-old child during a family barbeque. He was sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, Blake argues the judge made several evidentiary errors that entitle him to a new trial. But after review, we find no errors, particularly none that warrant reversal. The evidence that Blake sexually penetrated Robert's 1 anus with his finger-or, as the young child put it, dug "in his butt"-was so overwhelming as to render any alleged evidentiary error harmless. We affirm.
