Description

In 2001, appellant Kevin Sauceda was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child and sentenced to forty years confinement. This court affirmed the conviction in an unpublished opinion, holding that (1) the complainants outcry statement was sufficiently reliable; (2) appellants constitutional right of confrontation had not been violated; and (3) the State was entitled to introduce a videotape of the complainants interview with a caseworker, in its entirety, under the rule of optional completeness if the defense called the caseworker to testify. Sauceda v. State, No. 14-01-00408-CR, 2002 WL 977152, at *1 (Tex. App.--Houston [14th Dist.], Feb. 28, 2002) ("Sauceda I"). The Court of Criminal Appeals granted review to determine whether asking a question for impeachment purposes rendered the "entire videotaped interview of extraneous offenses admissible under the rule of optional completeness." Sauceda v. State, 129 S.W.3d 116, 117 (Tex. Crim. App. 2004) ("Sauceda II"). In a divided opinion, the Court of Criminal Appeals concluded that the videotape would not have been admissible and remanded the case to this court with instructions to conduct a harm analysis. Id. at 124. For the reasons discussed below, we hold that the error was harmless and affirm appellants conviction.
