Description
Appellant was convicted of sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, and second degree burglary, with three prior felony convictions. He argues on appeal that the trial court erred by 1) finding the victim, an elderly woman, competent to testify at a pre-trial deposition, and allowing the deposition to be introduced at trial; 2) admitting into evidence statements made by the victim after the assault; 3) allowing a police officer to give his opinion about the victims condition after the assault; 4) refusing to ask a voir dire question to determine the jury panels feelings about interracial sexual relations between a young man and an elderly woman; 5) denying appellants request for an expert to investigate jury selection, and 6) imposing an enhanced sentence pursuant to A.R.S. § 13-604 because of prior felony convictions in Washington. Appellant also contends he was denied effective assistance of counsel. We affirm.
