Randon v. State

Albert Randon, age seventy, was indicted for the aggravated sexual assault of G. R., a child who was both his neighbor and Randons brothers granddaughter. Randon pled not guilty. The jury found Randon guilty as charged in the indictment. The trial court assessed punishment at twenty years imprisonment. The trial court also ordered Randons sentence be served concurrently with his ten-year sentences in two community supervision revocation cases, case number 21,110 (on appeal as appellate cause number 06-01-00184-CR) and 21,111 (on appeal as appellate cause number 06-01-00185-CR). In two issues for appellate review, Randon contends the trial court erred (1) by allowing testimony to be read to the jury without first determining there was a dispute among the jury members as to specific testimony, and (2) by admitting evidence of extraneous bad acts and crimes when the State did not comply with the notice requirements of Article 37.07, Section (3)(g) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 37.07, § 3(g) (Vernon Supp. 2003). For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the trial courts judgment.
