Hajjar V. State

Abdullah Hajjar, appellant, pleaded not guilty to assault on a family member, his wife. The jury found him guilty and the trial court assessed punishment at one year community supervision, a $1,000 fine, and 10 days in jail as a condition of his community supervision. In five points of error, appellant contends that (1) the trial court undermined appellant's presumption of innocence, thereby denying his right to a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel at trial; (2) the trial court erred in allowing the State to identify an exhibit as a "booking photo"; (3) the trial court erred in admitting evidence that was of little or no probative value and unfairly prejudicial; (4) the trial court erred in permitting the State's repeated use of inadmissible "backdoor" hearsay evidence; and (5) appellant was denied his right to a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel at trial. We affirm.
