1Opinion of the Court

OPINION

DOUGLAS, Judge.

Rose Anderson Williams appeals her conviction for aggravated robbery. Punishment was assessed by the jury at fifty years.

Williams contends that the court erred in failing to submit several requested charges to the jury, that evidence of prior federal convictions was not properly authenticated, that the prosecutor made an improper jury argument and that an extraneous offense was improperly admitted. Appellant also contends that the State failed to prove that the knife used in the commission of the robbery was a deadly weapon and therefore the evidence is insufficient.
