Description

The injured party was five years of age. Appellant and the childs mother were in Houston staying at a motel. Several persons saw the child and noticed bruises on her. The police were called. They took custody of the child and placed her in a hospital. Dr. Jerry Edwards examined her when she was brought to the emergency room of the hospital. At the trial, he testified that the child was quite battered when he first examined her, having multiple bruises under her eyes and on her body and extremities. He also testified that these injuries were compatible with the type that would be inflicted by use of a fist or a belt. The child testified that the appellant had beaten her on several occasions with his fists and with a leather belt. The mother testified to the same effect. Appellant did not testify nor call any witnesses in his behalf.
