Description

DAUGHTREY, Judge. OPINION The defendant-appellant, David Franklin Holcomb, was indicated for aggravated rape and found guilty of the lesser offense of rape. As a result, he was sentenced to six to ten years imprisonment. On appeal he challenges (1) the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury's verdict; (2) the trial court's limitation on the admissibility of expert testimony offered by the defendant; (3) efforts by the State to show that the victim contracted gonorrhea as a result of her contact with the defendant; (4) the trial court's ruling on the admissibility of an extra-judicial statement made by the victim's husband; (5) the introduction of the defendant's prior criminal convictions and evidence of prior bad acts; and (6) the trial court's rulings on several special requests for jury instructions that were submitted by the defendant. We find no reversible error in connection with these issues, and we therefore sustain the conviction. There was little or no material dispute between the prosecution and defense concerning many of the preliminary facts in this case. Moreover, the defendant conceded that on December 14, 1979, he had engaged in sexual intercourse with the victim while parked in his truck in a deserted area of Davidson County, but he claimed that the act was consensual in nature. The jury, however, accepted the victim's testimony that she had been forced to submit to the defendant by threat of bodily harm.
