THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

Trial Court No. 13F1054-102
Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Carter,* JJ.
Memorandum Opinion by Justice Carter

MEMORANDUM OPINION
Leavelle Franklin appeals from his convictions of three counts of aggravated sexual
assault of his six-year-old daughter, Barbara Johnson (pseudonym), with two previous felony
convictions. Franklin has filed a single brief in which he raises issues common to all of his
appeals. 1 Franklin argues that the trial court committed reversible error (1) in admitting a Sexual
Assault Nurse Examiner’s reports over his hearsay objection, (2) in limiting cross-examination
of the forensic interviewer, which was designed to uncover inconsistencies in Barbara’s and
Tasha’s statements, (3) in exempting the Child Advocacy Center’s clinical director from the
witness sequestration rule, and (4) by overruling his objection to comments made during the
State’s closing argument.
We addressed these issues in detail in our opinion of this date on Franklin’s appeal in
cause number 06-14-00046-CR. For the reasons stated therein, we likewise conclude that
harmful error has not been shown in this case.
1
In our case number 06-14-00046-CR, Franklin also appeals from his convictions of three counts of aggravated
sexual assault of his seven-year-old daughter, Tasha Johnson (pseudonym), with two previous felony convictions.
2
We affirm the trial court’s judgment.
