Dowdy v. State

Summary

The court declined to reach Dowdy's sufficiency challenge because he changed the basis of his directed-verdict argument on appeal. It dismissed as moot his challenges to the admission of prior-bad-act evidence and testimony concerning child-abuse victims because Dowdy's death made a new trial unavailable, but affirmed after its required review found no reversible error, including no statute-of-limitations bar to the sexual-indecency charges.
