Trenor v. State

OPINION

LAURA CARTER HIGLEY, Justice.

A jury found appellant, Kimberly Dawn Trenor, guilty of the capital murder of her two-year-old daughter, Riley Ann Sawyers. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 19.03(a)(8) (Vernon Supp.2009). The State did not seek the death penalty, and the trial court sentenced appellant to life in prison, as statutorily required. See TEX. PENAL CODE ANN. § 12.31(a) (Vernon Supp.2009). In two issues, appellant contends that she was denied compulsory process and that the evidence was legally and factually insufficient to support her conviction.

We affirm.
