Description
Upon a plea of not guilty, a jury convicted appellant Paul Anthony Fant-Caughman, aka Paul Fant, for aggravated sexual assault and indecency with a child. Punishment was assessed at life imprisonment for the aggravated sexual assault conviction and at twenty years confinement and a $10,000 fine for the indecency with a child conviction with the sentences to run consecutively pursuant to Texas Penal Code section 3.03. Presenting six points of error, appellant contends the trial court erred in admitting evidence of extraneous acts of misconduct, in allowing improper jury argument, and in failing to require the State to make an election. Based upon the rationale expressed herein, we reverse and remand the case for a new trial.
