1Opinion of the Court

REYNOLDS, Chief Justice.

A jury found appellant Ray Morales guilty of injury to a child, who sustained fatal head injuries while in appellant’s possession, and assessed his punishment at sixty years confinement. He seeks a reversal and acquittal, or remand, because of the trial court’s alleged errors in admitting his statement, failing to grant his motion to quash the indictment, overruling his objection to the charge, and failing to grant his motion for instructed verdict. On the rationale expressed, we will overrule appellant’s four points of error and affirm the judgment.
