Description

A jury convicted Appellant Irving McKinney, Jr. of the offense of intentionally or knowingly causing serious bodily injury to a child under the age of fifteen. The specific manner and means alleged in the indictment and found by the jury were "by causing [the child] to contact a hot liquid." The jury also affirmatively found that the hot liquid was a deadly weapon. The trial court assessed Appellants punishment at twenty-five years confinement. Appellant brings four points on appeal, contending that the trial court erred by denying his motion to appoint an expert witness, denying his motion to quash the indictment, and excluding evidence of the victims opinion regarding whether Appellant intentionally harmed him. Appellant also complains that he was denied effective assistance of counsel. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
