Womac v. State

Summary

The court affirmed Womac’s convictions and sentences, rejecting his challenge to the life sentence for aggravated sexual battery, his claim that improper character evidence required a mistrial, and his argument that three convictions should merge for sentencing. The aggravated-sexual-battery charge required the jury to find lack of consent as an actual element, the marijuana reference was fleeting and cured by a limiting instruction, and the offenses were factually and legally distinct. There were no separate opinions.
