Padilla v. State - 11th COA
A statue of Baby Jesus
does qualify as a deadly weapon under
PC ยง1.07(a)(17)(b) .Based on the victim's trial testimony and undisputed evidence that the
statue was broken during the struggle and blood was found on the
outside and inside of the statue by police, the evidence is sufficient
to show the defendant used or intended to use the statue in such a way
that it was capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.
