Banda v. State
Court of Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
BRADY, Justice.
Appellant was convicted in a jury trial of the offense of indecency with a child and sentenced to twenty years. In this appeal appellant presents four points of error asserting that: 1) disclosure to the jury that the complaining witness passed a polygraph examination was so highly prejudicial that a new trial should be ordered; 2) the trial court should have granted a new trial after the prosecutrix retracted her testimony; 3) it was error to not appoint legal counsel to represent the prosecutrix; and 4) the trial court allowed improper jury argument. We affirm.
