Borgen v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION ON STATE’S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
ONION, Presiding Judge.
Appellant was convicted of sexual abuse. V.T.C.A., Penal Code, § 21.04(a)(1). Punishment was assessed by the jury at 10 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $10,-000.00.
On appeal the Houston Court of Appeals (1st District) reversed the conviction as a result of unobjected to, but improper prose-cutorial jury argument at the guilt stage of the trial. Borgen v. State, 657 S.W.2d 15 (Tex.App.—Houston (1st)—1983). We have granted the State’s petition for discretionary review to determine the correctness of that decision.
