Description
A jury found appellant, Tameka Nichole Martin, guilty of the brutal capital murder of her ten-month-old baby girl. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. §Â§ 19.02(b)(1), 19.03(a)(8) (Vernon 2003). The trial court assessed punishment at incarceration for life in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Institutional Division. In four issues, appellant challenges the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence, the trial courts failure to charge the jury on the lesser included offense of injury to a child, and the trial courts admission of expert testimony regarding appellants intent. Appellant also requests correction of the judgments recitation of punishment because it improperly reflects that the jury assessed punishment. It is clear from the record the judge assessed appellants punishment; therefore we modify the judgment to reflect that the judge, not the jury imposed punishment. We affirm the judgment as modified.
