Description
A jury found appellant, Byron Thompson, guilty of first-degree felony injury to a child, *fn1 third-degree felony injury to a child, *fn2 and second-degree felony aggravated assault. *fn3 The jury assessed punishment at 40, two, and 15 years in prison and fines of $4,000, $2,000, and $4,000, respectively. We address whether the trial court erred in (1) overruling appellant's objections to the State's misstatement of the law during voir dire, (2) overruling appellant's challenges for cause, (3) refusing to allow appellant to repeat a question to three venire members, (4) denying appellant's motion to discharge the venire because of cumulative, "fundamental" error, and (5) including a good-conduct-time instruction in the two injury-to-a-child charges after having granted appellant's request to omit the same instruction from the aggravated-assault charge. We also consider whether appellant was harmed by the alleged lack of a constitutional good-conduct-time instruction for the aggravated-assault charge. We affirm.
