CHARLES ANTHONY YOUNG, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 177th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1002572
O P I N I O N
Appellant, Charles Anthony Young, appeals from his conviction for aggravated robbery. After a jury found him guilty, the trial court sentenced him to 45 years in prison. In six issues, appellant contends that (1) the trial court erred in refusing to grant a mistrial when the prosecutor shifted the burden of proof during questioning of a witness; (2) the trial court erred in admitting hearsay; (3) the trial court erred in admitting evidence of an extraneous offense; (4) the evidence was factually insufficient to support the conviction; (5) the evidence was legally insufficient to support the conviction because there was inadequate proof of the weapon used during the commission of the offense; and (6) the evidence was legally insufficient to support the conviction because there was no evidence that anything was taken during commission of the offense or that appellant possessed the intent to deprive the complainant of property. We affirm.
I. Background
The complainant, S.C., testified at trial that on July 13, 2004, she was twelve years old. That morning, she was alone in the mobile home where she lived with her mother and step-father. While she was taking a shower, she heard her dog bark. After she got dressed, she looked out front and saw an older Cadillac drive by. She thought it may have been gold in color but was not sure. A short time later, while she was preparing her lunch in the kitchen, she heard a knock on the front door. She did not answer it under prior instructions from her mother, but the knock came again and then someone began banging on the door. It scared her. Suddenly, a gun broke through the window of the door and fell on the floor. She ran to the gun and picked it up. She tried to fire it to scare away whoever was outside, but the gun did not discharge. She described the gun as a black and silver pistol about five to six inches long. She said it felt light when she picked it up, but it felt like a real gun. The door burst open, and the complainant dropped the gun. She ran back towards the kitchen, but an Hispanic man entered the home, caught her, forced her to her knees, and dragged her to a couch. He then picked her up off the couch and put her on the floor on her knees. There, he bound her hands behind her back and put a blanket over her head. She felt something through the blanket that felt like he put a gun to her head. She said it felt metallic and heavy and was shaped like a gun. She told him that she had asthma and said, AYou don=t want to hurt me do you?@ She said that she did this, even though she does not have asthma, because she knew that she would have to identify the intruders later, and she needed to get a good look at them. The man took the blanket off her head.
In total, three men entered the home, two Hispanic men and one black man, whom the complainant identified as appellant. Each man had a gun, and each wore what complainant described as a Asheriff=s jacket.@ When they first entered, one of them said AWhere is the drugs? Where is the drugs?@ To which complainant responded: AWe don=t have any drugs here. You=ve got the wrong house.@ The men then searched the premises, with appellant searching through drawers in the kitchen. She said that she got a good look at appellant=s face when he was ten feet or less away from her, even though she was not wearing her prescription glasses at the time. She described his clothes and stated that he had a gun in his back pocket. She said the handle looked the same as the one that had come in through the window, and it made her more afraid to see it. Complainant asked appellant what they were going to do to her and if they were going to hurt her, and he responded that no one was going to hurt her. She then asked if they were leaving and if they were coming back, and one of the men responded that they were going outside to Atalk to our deputy.@ The men left, and a short time later, the complainant managed to unbind her hands and run for help.
Officer Eddie Wilkerson of the Pasadena Police Department testified that on July 13, 2004, he was dispatched to the scene of a reported home invasion in a mobile home park. At the scene, he spoke to complainant, who was a little bit distraught and visibly shaken but had begun to calm down. Complainant handed him a black plastic tie wrap, which she said had been used to bind her hands. In response to Wilkerson=s questioning, complainant described for him the course of events in similar detail to how she testified at trial. Wilkerson said that complainant described the black male intruder as A[a]bout 5'10" and around 32 years old.@ She described the gun that came through the window as Alight@ and Amaybe even a toy.@ She also stated that she picked it up and tried to fire it to scare away whoever was outside, but the gun only clicked. She stated that the intruders were all wearing blue jackets that had gold lettering on the back, reading Asheriff.@ Wilkerson further stated that upon arrival, he observed blood at the front door where the glass was broken as well as in the kitchen area. He also found a for sale sign by the front door.
Detective Kirk Bonsal of the Pasadena Police Department testified that on July 13, 2004, he responded to the scene of a reported home invasion. Upon arrival, he spoke with Officer Wilkerson and surveyed the scene with the crime scene officer. Detective Bonsal also saw a for sale sign at the scene, which he was told did not belong there. He said that the front of the sign read AFor sale@ and A>92 Cadillac,@ and had a telephone number on it. Bonsal then spoke with complainant. It was then about 45 to 50 minutes after the originating call was received. He said that she was still visibly shaken and upset and that it looked like she had been crying. She was not crying at the time he spoke to her. Her description of events to him was similar to her trial testimony and that of Officer Wilkerson. Bonsal additionally testified that detectives traced the phone number on the for sale sign to a former owner of a silver or grayish-silver 1992 Cadillac. Some time later, appellant was pulled over by another officer while driving the vehicle in question. Bonsal then placed a photograph of appellant in a photographic lineup, which he presented to complainant. She identified appellant as the black male intruder. She had seen three prior photo spreads without having identified anyone as being involved in the robbery. She stated that one of the photographs in an earlier lineup looked like one of the intruders, but she could not be sure.
Officer Brian Diettrich of the Houston Police Department testified that he stopped appellant because the gray Cadillac he was driving had no front license plate. When Diettrich ran the license number for the vehicle, he discovered that it was wanted in relation to an aggravated robbery. After detaining appellant, Diettrich inventoried the vehicle. In a black zippered bag in the trunk, he found a loaded .22 caliber pistol along with several papers bearing appellant=s name. Defense counsel objected to admission of the pistol and Diettrich=s testimony regarding the pistol as being irrelevant and unduly prejudicial.
Officer Larry Jaramillo of the Pasadena Police Department testified regarding the crime scene investigation conducted at the scene of the robbery. During cross-examination, defense counsel asked Jaramillo about the collection of blood samples at the scene. In response, he testified that blood samples were taken and analyzed at the crime lab, but the results did not implicate appellant. During re-direct examination, the prosecutor elicited from Jaramillo that police officers and crime lab personnel were subject to subpoena by defense counsel, so that if a defense attorney wanted to call the person who tested blood samples to determine the source, the attorney could have done so. Defense counsel objected on relevance and speculation grounds. Later, after the jury was removed for a break, defense counsel moved for a mistrial on the basis that the prosecutor=s questions had shifted the burden of proof. The trial court denied the motion.
At the close of evidence, the jury found appellant guilty of aggravated robbery. He pleaded true to an enhancement paragraph, and the trial court sentenced him to 45 years in prison.
II. Discussion
A. Burden of Proof
In his first issue, appellant contends that the trial court erred in refusing to grant a mistrial when the prosecutor allegedly shifted the burden of proof while questioning Officer Jaramillo regarding subpoena powers. In a criminal prosecution, the State has the burden of proving all elements of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. See, e.g., O'Brien v. State, 154 S.W.3d 908, 909‑10 (Tex. App.CDallas 2005, no pet.). Appellant argues that by questioning Jaramillo on defense counsel=s right to subpoena police officers and crime lab personnel, the prosecutor suggested that the defense had a burden to bring forth evidence exonerating appellant.
Generally, as a prerequisite to bringing alleged error on appeal, a defendant must have preserved the alleged error in the trial court. See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1; Harrison v. State, 187 S.W.3d 429, 433 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). In order to preserve alleged error, a defendant must usually make an objection, and pursue the issue until the court issues an adverse ruling. Tucker v. State, 990 S.W.2d 261, 262 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). If the court sustains the objection, the defendant should request a curative instruction; if the judge gives the requested instruction, the defendant should request a mistrial. Schumacher v. State, 72 S.W.3d 43, 47 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 2001, pet. ref=d) (citing Nethery v. State, 692 S.W.2d 686, 701 (Tex. Crim. App. 1985)). Here, defense counsel objected as to relevance and speculation when the prosecutor asked the questions related to subpoena powers but did not raise the burden-shifting argument. Later, when the court ordered a brief recess in the proceedings, defense counsel moved for a mistrial on the burden-shifting argument without ever having objected on that ground or having requested a curative instruction. Thus, defense counsel failed to preserve the argument for appeal. Cf. McLendon v. State, 167 S.W.3d 503, 510 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2005, no pet.) (holding that defendant=s burden-shifting objection in trial court did not preserve argument regarding prosecutor=s comment on defendant=s failure to testify).
Appellant asserts that a shift in the burden of proof constitutes fundamental error and therefore requires no objection, citing Blue v. State, 41 S.W.3d 129 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The Blue case involved a trial judge=s comments that Avitiated the presumption of innocence,@ resulting in fundamental error that required no objection. 41 S.W.3d at 132-33; see also Gordon v. State, 191 S.W.3d 721, 726 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2006, no pet.) (explaining that a trial court=s inappropriate comments may or may not constitute fundamental error requiring an objection). In the present case, the trial court explained the State=s burden of proof during voir dire and specifically explained that the defense did not have to offer any proof. The prosecutor echoed this explanation in his voir dire statements. The jury charge also placed the burden of proof squarely on the State. In light of these repeated proper statements of the burden of proof, the prosecutor=s alleged burden-shifting statements did not constitute fundamental error. Cf. Beltran v. State, 99 S.W.3d 807, 811-12 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2003, pet. ref=d) (holding prosecutor=s injection of personal opinion statements did not constitute fundamental error). Appellant=s first issue is overruled.
B. Hearsay
In his second issue, appellant contends that the trial court erred in admitting the hearsay testimony of Detective Bonsal. A>Hearsay= is a statement, other than one made by the declarant while testifying at the trial or hearing, offered in evidence to prove the truth of the matter asserted.@ Tex. R. Evid. 801(d). Hearsay testimony is not admissible unless it falls under one of several exceptions. Id. 802, 803, 804. A trial court=s ruling on admissibility under a hearsay exception will not be reversed unless the trial court abused its discretion. Zuliani v. State, 97 S.W.3d 589, 595 (Tex. Crim. App. 2003).
Appellant specifically complains that during his testimony Detective Bonsal recounted statements made to him by complainant after the robbery. The trial court expressly permitted this testimony under the Aexcited utterance@ exception to the hearsay rule. Tex. R. Evid. 803(2). An Aexcited utterance@ is A[a] statement relating to a startling event or condition made while the declarant was under the stress of excitement caused by the event or condition.@ Id. Appellant does not dispute that the home invasion suffered by complainant was a very startling event that caused her considerable stress and excitement. He contends, however, that by the time Detective Bonsal interviewed complainant, she had significantly calmed down from the experience. Indeed, the critical determination is whether the declarant was still dominated by the emotions, excitement, fear, or pain of the event or condition at the time of the statement. Zuliani, 97 S.W.3d at 595. Although a court may take into consideration the time elapsed between the event and the statements and whether the statements were volunteered or in response to questioning, such factors are not dispositive. Id. at 594-95.
Here, Officer Wilkerson, who spoke to complainant prior to Bonsal=s interview of her, stated that complainant was a little bit distraught and visibly shaken but had begun to calm down. Bonsal testified that he spoke with complainant about 45 to 50 minutes after the originating call was received, and at that time, she was still visibly shaken and upset, and it looked like she had been crying. Although Wilkerson=s testimony includes the suggestion that complainant had begun to calm down, the totality of Wilkerson=s and Bonsal=s testimony, coupled with the severity of the startling event, was sufficient for the trial court to conclude that complainant was still dominated by the emotions, excitement, fear, or pain of the event at the time of Bonsal=s interview. See id. at 596 (holding that record supported trial court=s finding that statements made twenty hours after startling event and in response to questioning were excited utterances); Oveal v. State, 164 S.W.3d 735, 741 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2005, pet. ref=d) (holding that record supported finding that statements made Aone to two hours@ after startling events were excited utterances given declarant=s demeanor at time statements were made); Ross v. State, 154 S.W.3d 804, 811 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2004, pet. ref=d) (holding statements given Aa few hours@ after startling event were excited utterances considering extreme nature of the event). Accordingly, we overrule appellant=s second issue.
C. Relevance
In his third issue, appellant contends that the trial court erred in admitting evidence that police found a pistol in the trunk of his vehicle when they arrested him. Specifically, appellant argues that the evidence (1) constituted inadmissible evidence of an extraneous offense, (2) was irrelevant, and (3) was more prejudicial than probative. Evidence is deemed relevant if it has Aany tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence.@ Tex. R. Evid. 401. Relevant evidence is generally admissible unless Aits probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.@ Id. 402, 403. AEvidence of other crimes, wrongs or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident . . . .@ Id. 404. A trial court=s decision on the admissibility of evidence is reviewed under an abuse of discretion standard. McDonald v. State, 179 S.W.3d 571, 576 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005).
We begin by noting that the extraneous offense in question, felon in possession of a firearm, was apparently never presented to the jury. Appellant points to no place in the record where his prior record was discussed during the guilt/innocence stage. Further, Officer Diettrich testified on cross-examination that the best and safest place for a citizen to transport a firearm is in the trunk. See Goldberg v. State, 95 S.W.3d 345, 367 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 2002, pet. ref=d) (considering prejudicial nature of evidence of knife possession in light of fact jury was never told possession of knife was illegal). Thus, we consider appellant=s arguments concerning possession of the firearm in light of the fact that the jury was never told such possession was illegal.
Appellant asserts that the evidence related to the gun was irrelevant because the State could not show any connection between the gun and the robbery charged. See Alanis v. State, 891 S.W.2d 737, 740-41 (Tex. App.CHouston [1st Dist.] 1994, pet. ref=d) (holding trial court erred in admitting firearm found on defendant when arrested on murder charge where no connection was established between the firearm and the murder weapon and firearm was admitted only to show propensity for dangerousness). Although complainant did not specifically identify the pistol found in appellant=s vehicle as one used during the robbery, her description of the pistols used during the robbery generally matched the pistol found in appellant=s vehicle. It is additionally noteworthy that the weapon was found inside a vehicle that closely matched complainant=s description of a vehicle on the scene at the time of the robbery and which was tied to the robbery by way of a for sale sign found at the scene. Thus, the State did establish some degree of connection between the pistol found in appellant=s vehicle and the pistol used in the robbery. See Goldberg, 95 S.W.3d at 366 (holding evidence that defendant possessed knives when arrested was relevant in murder trial where coroner testified murder weapon was probably a knife); Moss v. State, 75 S.W.3d 132, 141 (Tex. App.CSan Antonio 2002, pet. ref=d) (holding evidence that various weapons were discovered in apartment where defendant was arrested was relevant to aggravated robbery charge). Appellant=s possession of the pistol therefore makes the existence of the facts that he committed the robbery and that a weapon was used during the robbery more probable. Accordingly, the evidence regarding the pistol was relevant, and appellant=s second argument is without merit.
We next consider whether admission of the evidence was unfairly prejudicial to appellant. AUnfair prejudice,@ of course, cannot mean just that the evidence injures the appellant=s case, such being the State=s central objective in offering evidence; rather, it refers to an undue tendency to suggest decision on an improper basis, commonly, though not necessarily, an emotional one. Rogers v. State, 991 S.W.2d 263, 266 (Tex. Crim. App. 1999). Appellant insists that the pistol evidence was unfairly prejudicial because it suggested to the jury that he was a bad person, was in the habit of carrying a weapon, and might have had a weapon during the robbery. While the strength of the evidence was somewhat muted by (1) the fact that complainant did not specifically identify the weapon as one used in the robbery and (2) the two-month delay between the robbery and the finding of the weapon in appellant=s vehicle, we believe that the probative strength of the evidence as discussed above was sufficient to bring the issue of unfair prejudice within the realm of reasonable disagreement. Accordingly, we will not disturb the trial court=s application of its discretion. See Oprean v. State, 201 S.W.3d 724, 726 (Tex. Crim. App. 2006). Appellant=s third argument is without merit. We overrule appellant=s third issue.
D. Sufficiency of the Evidence
In his fourth, fifth, and sixth issues, appellant challenges the legal and factual sufficiency of the evidence to sustain his conviction. In addressing these sufficiency challenges, we utilize the well-established standards of review. See King v. State, 29 S.W.3d 556, 562 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (legal sufficiency standards); Johnson v. State, 23 S.W.3d 1, 11 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000) (factual sufficiency standards). We will first address appellant=s legal sufficiency claims.
1. Legal SufficiencyCWeapons
In his fifth issue, appellant contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction because there was inadequate proof of the weapon used during the commission of the offense. A person commits aggravated robbery if, among other possibilities, he or she uses or exhibits a deadly weapon during the course of a robbery. Tex. Penal Code Ann. ' 29.03(a) (Vernon 2003). The Texas Penal Code lists two categories of Adeadly weapons.@ Id. ' 1.07 (Vernon Supp. 2006); Robertson v. State, 163 S.W.3d 730, 732 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). The first category is comprised of those instruments designed to be deadly weapons, including Aa firearm or anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or serious bodily injury.@ Tex. Penal Code Ann. ' 1.07(a)(17)(A). The second category is comprised of those instruments whose use transforms them into deadly weapons, including Aanything that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.@ Id. ' 1.07(a)(17)(B). Here, the indictment specifically charged that appellant used and exhibited a firearm while committing robbery. The jury charge further instructed the jury under the law of parties. Thus, the State had the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant, or someone that he was criminally responsible for, used and exhibited a firearm during the robbery. See Thomas v. State, 821 S.W.2d 616, 620 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991); Tidwell v. State, 187 S.W.3d 771, 775-76 (Tex. App.CTexarkana 2006, pet. stricken).
Complainant testified that after someone began banging on the door of her home, a gun burst through the window and landed on the floor. She described the gun as a black and silver pistol about five to six inches long and said that although it felt light when she picked it up, it felt like a real gun. She further stated that each of the three men who invaded her home was carrying a gun and that appellant=s gun had the same type of handle as the gun that came in through the window. Additionally, Officer Diettrich testified that when he arrested appellant, he found a firearm in the trunk of appellant=s vehicle. The firearm generally matched complainant=s description of the gun that burst through the window. Appellant=s vehicle was also connected to the robbery through the testimony of complainant and Detective Bonsal. While it is true that (1) complainant did not specifically testify that the firearm recovered from appellant=s vehicle was used in the robbery, and (2) Officer Wilkerson testified that complainant told him that the gun Afelt light and to her maybe even a toy,@ these were matters for the jury to consider and do not in and of themselves render the evidence legally insufficient. Davis v. State, 195 S.W.3d 311, 320 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2006, no pet.) (AWe presume that any conflicting inferences from the evidence were resolved by the jury in favor of the prosecution, and we defer to that resolution.@).
Appellant is correct that the term Agun@ is a more general term than Afirearm@ because it encompasses weapons such as BB guns and pellet guns, whereas Afirearm@ does not. See Williams v. State, 980 S.W.2d 222, 225 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 1998, pet. ref=d). Thus, there generally needs to be something more than just testimony that a defendant had a Agun@ to prove that a defendant had a Afirearm.@ See id. Here, although complainant did repeatedly use the term Agun@ to describe the weapons possessed by the three men who invaded her home, she also stated that the gun that she picked up felt like a real gun, and she said that one of the men put a heavy, metal gun to her head. Additionally, there was evidence that appellant later had in his possession a weapon generally fitting complainant=s description of the gun she picked up. See id. (finding evidence was legally sufficient to support firearm finding where complainant testified that the weapon was a Ablack, metal-like gun,@ was Asquare at the front where the bullets come out,@ and was similar to a handgun exhibited at trial). We find that this evidence was legally sufficient to support the finding that a firearm was used or exhibited during the robbery by appellant or someone for whom he was criminally responsible. See Thomas, 821 S.W.2d at 620; Tidwell, 187 S.W.3d at 775-76. Accordingly, we overrule appellant=s fifth issue.
2. Legal SufficiencyCIntent to Deprive
In his sixth issue, appellant contends that the evidence was legally insufficient to support his conviction because there was no evidence that anything was taken during commission of the offense or that appellant possessed the intent to deprive the complainant of property. Actual commission of theft, however, is not a prerequisite to the commission of robbery. King v. State, 157 S.W.3d 873, 874 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2005, pet. ref=d). Furthermore, an intent to steal may be inferred from a defendant=s own conduct. Id.
Appellant points out that (1) no property was taken from the home, (2) there was no indication the family kept drugs at the home, and (3) complainant told the men that they were in the wrong house. However, none of these facts contradicts complainant=s testimony that three men burst into the mobile home where she lived, bound her hands, demanded to know where drugs were being kept, and searched through the home. The clear implication from this testimony was that the intruders intended to remove property from the home.[1] See. e.g., Butler v. State, 769 S.W.2d 234, 240 (Tex. Crim. App. 1989) (holding that intent to steal was inferable from the fact that defendant entered a cab, executed the driver, and ransacked the pocket of the decedent). Thus, the evidence was legally sufficient to support the jury=s finding on the intent element. We overrule appellant=s sixth issue.
3. Factual Sufficiency
In his fourth issue, appellant contends that the evidence was factually insufficient to support the judgment. Appellant asserts that the State=s entire case rested on the for sale sign found at the scene. However, the sign, which indeed resulted in police identification of appellant as a suspect, was a minor piece of evidence compared to the eyewitness identification of appellant by complainant. Appellant additionally suggests that complainant=s identification of him as one of the robbers was unreliable because (1) she stated that another person in an earlier photo array Alooked like@ one of the intruders, (2) her physical description of the black male robber immediately after the incident did not match appellant=s physical characteristics, and (3) complainant had prescription glasses but was not wearing them at the time of the robbery. Regarding the first assertion, complainant=s statement that someone in an earlier array Alooked like@ one of the intruders may well have been an accurate statement and does not minimize the impact of complainant=s subsequent positive and unequivocal identifications of appellant both in a photo array and in court. Second, appellant is correct that complainant=s physical description of the black male intruder, as related by Officer Wilkerson, does not exactly match appellant=s physical characteristics as they appear on a jail card introduced into evidence. Complainant apparently told Wilkerson that the intruder was about 5'10" tall, weighed approximately 200 pounds, and was around 32 years old. The jail card identified appellant as 6' tall, 180 pounds, and 40 years old at the time of the offense.[2] These discrepanciesCtwo inches, twenty pounds, and eight yearsCcould have been considered by the jury in assessing Wilkerson=s and complainant=s credibility, but they do not necessarily render the identification unreliable. See Moreno v. State, 195 S.W.3d 321, 325 (Tex. App.CHouston [14th Dist.] 2006, pet. ref=d) (AThe jury, as the trier of fact, is the sole judge of the credibility of the witnesses and of the strength of the evidence.@). Third, although the jury may well have considered the fact that complainant was not wearing her glasses when she observed the intruders, complainant was quite definite in her testimony that appellant was close enough to her for her to get a clear look at him. She was also unequivocal in her identification of appellant. Thus, the issue was one for the jury in its role as judge of witness credibility. See id. The evidence was factually sufficient to support the conviction. We overrule appellant=s fourth issue.
We affirm the trial court=s judgment.

[1] As mentioned, the jury was charged under the law of parties; thus, appellant could have been found guilty even if he himself did not demand to know where the drugs were. Complainant did indicate that appellant searched the premises.
[2] Interestingly, earlier jail cards also admitted into evidence during the punishment phase show appellant as being 5'9" or 5'10" tall.
