The Shelby County Grand Jury indicted Appellant, Walter Williams, for one count of rape in connection with the rape of his thirteen-year-old daughter. A jury found Appellant guilty as charged. The trial court sentenced Appellant to eight years as a Range I, standard offender. Appellant appeals his conviction. He argues that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction; (2) the trial court erred in allowing testimony of an expert witness; (3) the trial court erred in allowing certain questions during the jury voir dire; and (4) the trial court erred in failing to give the missing witness jury instruction. After a thorough review of the record, we conclude that Appellant’s argument must fail. Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
