State vs. Timothy Casterlow

The defendant was convicted by a jury of the offense of rape of a child. He was sentenced to serve a term of 20 years in the Department of Correction. In this appeal he challenges the sufficiency of the convicting evidence and he alleges reversible error resulting from a allegation that prospective trial jurors were told that they could donate their compensation for jury service to the Victims of Crime Compensation Fund. We find the evidence of the defendant's guilt to be more than sufficient to sustain the verdict. Moreover, the defendant has failed to raise by proper proceeding the issue of what the jury was told regarding donating its compensation. We accordingly affirm the judgment of the trial court pursuant to Rule 20, Rules of the Court of Criminal Appeals.
