Description
Lonnie Ray Andrews, appellant, was charged with three counts of sexual assault of a child and one count of indecency with a child. Appellant entered pleas of not guilty to all offenses. After a jury found appellant guilty of all four charges, it assessed his punishment at 20 years confinement and a $10,000 fine on each sexual assault charge and 18 years confinement and a $5000 fine on the indecency charge. Appellant now raises the following five issues on appeal: (1) the trial court erred in failing to charge the jury on the law pertaining to sentences for offenses arising out of the same criminal episode, (2) the prosecutor misled the jury during closing argument at punishment, (3) the trial court erred in denying his motion for new trial on the grounds that the invocation of article 36.03 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure was violated by some of the witnesses and on the grounds that he was denied effective assistance of counsel, (4) appellant was denied effective assistance of counsel, and (5) appellant was denied effective assistance of counsel in that counsel failed to object to the jury charge and the prosecutor's jury argument.
