ON APPELLANTS’ MOTION FOR REHEARING
MORRISON, Judge.
The appellants assert, and we agree that the question as to the exhibition of scars on the body of deceased’s companion is before us for consideration. We are not, however, impressed with the claim that reversible error is reflected thereby. We cannot bring ourselves to conclude that the mere exhibition of scars standing alone constitutes reversible error.
The burden is upon the appellants to impress this Court with the gruesomeness of the exhibition. This was done to the writer’s satisfaction in Burns v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 388 S.W.2d 690. These appellants have failed to do so in the case at bar. See also Grims v. State, 158 Tex.Cr.R. 35, 253 S.W.2d 52, and McMurrey v. State, 145 Tex.Cr.R. 439, 168 S.W.2d 858.
Appellants’ motion for rehearing is overruled.
