Turner v. State

OPINION

LEVY, Justice.

This is an appeal from a conviction of aggravated sexual assault. Punishment was assessed by the jury at 40 years confinement. Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence.

On September 28, 1983, at approximately 11:30 p.m., the complainant returned home from a trip to the grocery store. As she was taking a bag of groceries from her car, a man grabbed her from behind, held a knife to her throat, threatened her, and dragged her into a neighbor’s backyard where he raped her. After escaping, the complainant ran naked to her house, screaming her daughter’s name.
