#### McGregor v. state.

No. 15207.

Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.

May 11, 1932.

Jack Varner, L. B. Fowler, and A. J. Thompson, all of Nacogdoches, for appellant.

Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Atty., of Austin, for the State.

MORROW, P. J.

The offense is murder; penalty assessed at confinement in the penitentiary for five years.

Some three weeks after her marriage, the daughter of the appellant gave birth to a child. The doctor, who reached the home soon after the child was bom and who after his arrival gave attention to the mother, indicated in his testimony that the child’s birth was after a normal period from the time of conception and that the child was born alive. Several days after the birth of the child the sheriff was told by the appellant that she had buried the child while it was alive. Upon information thus obtained from her, the officer caused the body to be exhumed. In addition to her statements to the sheriff, the appellant made a written con*819fession, which was introduced in evidence, which was in substance the same as her declaration to the sheriff mentioned above.

A continuance was sought to obtain the attendance of the mother of the child who, as shown by the averments in the motion for a continuance and by the affidavit of the witness attached to the motion for new trial, would give testimony to the effect that the child died before it was buried. The materiality of the testimony seems not open to question. From the testimony of the mother, as averred in the motion and as set out in the affidavit, it would appear that while sleeping with its mother the child died; that after its death it was taken out of bed by its grandmother, the appellant. The motion for a continuance is not, in form or substance, lacking in the statutory requirements. As stated above, it was supported on motion for new trial by the affidavit of the witness, which was not controverted. It may be added that the evidence that the appellant killed the child seems supported alone by her extrajudicial confession. The insufficiency of such a confession, standing alone, to establish the corpus delicti, has been declared by this court. Among the illustrations may be mentioned the following: Harris v. State, 28 Tex. App. 308, 12 S. W. 1102, 19 Am. St. Rep. 837; Hernandez v. State, 110 Tex. Cr. R. 159, 8 S.W. (2d) 947; Morgan v. State, 148 Tenn. 417, 256 S. W. 433; Gandy v. State, 99 Tex. Cr. R. 643, 271 S. W. 97, 98; Vancel v. State, 100 Tex. Cr. R. 39, 272 S. W. 130. See 18 Tex. Jur. p. 451, § 327, also p. 190, § 105.

For the reasons stated, the judgment is re-‘ versed, and the cause remanded.

2 question of his responsibility for a shooting committed with one of the firearms he possessed and reducing it to the fact of but

- for causation.
We review a sente nce for substantive reasonableness by considering “the totality of the circumstances,” and in doing so “give due deference to the district court’s decision that the § 3553(a) factors, on a whole, justify the extent” of any variance. Gall v. United States , 552 U.S. 38, 51 (2007)

. This review is “highly deferential.” United States v. Fraga , 704 F.3d 432, 439 (5th Cir. 2013) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). However, if a

non
- guidelines sentence “represents a clear error of judgment in balancing the sentencing factors , ” it is unreasonable. United States v. Smith , 440 F.3d 704, 708 (5th Cir. 2006). T he Government contends that Porter did not preserve his argument, but we assume he did and review for abuse of discretion. See United Stat es v. Burney , 992 F.3d 398, 399

- 400 (5th Cir. 2021). According to Porter, clearly erroneous reasoning is apparent in the district court’s sentencing explanation. We disagree. The district court cited several grounds for its upward variance, one of which was the causal connection between Porter’s possession of a firearm and its use in a fatal shooting. The Government had emphasized that connection and in doing so correctly noted that relevant conduct under the Guidelines include s harm that resulted from an offense, a standard this court has interpreted as requiring but

- for causation. See U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3(a)(3); United States v. Ramos

- Delgado , 763 F.3d 398, 402 (5th Cir. 2014) . None of this shows that the district court viewed but

- for causation as the on ly point that mattered in weighing the significance of the shooting

. Because t he record does not support Porter’s argument , h is claim fails. See Gall , 552 U.S. at 51.
