Compton, who had lived with Calhoun on and off for a few years and considered her to be his common law wife; showed up at Ramsinghani' s a.partment shortly thereafter looking for Calhoun and intending that she leave with him. After Ramsinghani answered Compton's knock on the front door, Calhol.1n, who was sitting on a bedroom floor, heard Compton · yelling and saw him "swinging with his fists" and "hitting" Ramsinghani. Ramsinghani did not swing back at Compton; he put his hands up in an attempt to defend himselffrom Compton's blows. As the altercation progressed, Compton and Ramsinghani moved towards the bedroom and a bathroom just before Compton - -piisnedRainsmgliaru, causmg h1m fo ra!TDackwards mto 111e6athroom ancfstnKeThe _______ · back of his head on an unknown object. Calhoun did not see Ramsinghani hit the floor or the object that his head contacted while falling io the floor, but she heard a noise that sounded like Ramsinghani hit the wall "or some other object. After Ramsinghani fell to the floor, Compton bent over and struck Ramsinghani's face multiple times with his fists as Calhoun screamed at him to stop. Compton stopped hitting Ramsinghani, noticed that there was blood coming out of Ramsinghani' s ears, and left the apartment before police arrived. The incident left Ramsinghani in- a coma with contusions and bruises on his face and a fracture to the rear base of his skull that caused a subdural and subarachnoid hemorrhage. He died ten days later in a Fort Worth hospital. The medical examiner listed Ramsinghani' s cause of death as craniocerebral trauma due to blunt force injury of the head- an injury consistent with Ramsinghani' s head moving at n rapict pace before contacting a hard surface. The State subsequently indicted Compton for murder, alleging that Compton either intentionally or knowingly caused Ramsinghani 's death or that, with intent to cause serious bodily injury, be committed an act clearly dangerous to human life that caused Ramsinghani's death. At trial, an investigator testif1ed thathis office was unable to detem1ine the object that Ramsinghani 's head struck as he fell to the floor. A police officer testified that he responded to a call at Ramsinghani 's address about one· month before the June 7, 2000 incident because Compton had been knocking on Ramsinghani's door, had broken one of the apartment's windows, and was intoxicated. The officer arrest~d Compton. Compton testified that he entered the apartment and pushed Ramsinghan,i off of him when Ramsinghani "grabbed" him. Compton agreed that he pushed Ramsinghani, ·that Ramsinghani hit his head on an object, and that Ramsinghani died. The jury ultimately convicted Compton of murder, and this appeal followed.
