After a jury trial, Jamie Terrez Jackson was convicted of aggravated battery, two counts of first degree cruelty to children, and second degree cruelty to children, for acts against T. M., the four-year-old son of his girlfriend. Jackson also was convicted of possession of marijuana. He challenges on appeal the sufficiency of the evidence and the effectiveness of his trial counsel. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. Jackson argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdicts, the evidence showed that on November 20, 2006, T. M. was admitted to the hospital with severe burns on his feet, buttocks, and scrotum; an older burn on his leg; bruises and abrasions over his body; a lacerated liver; and a cut lip. His burns were severely infected. He also was dehydrated and had a high fever. A hospital employee immediately contacted the police.

At the time T. M. was taken to the hospital, he lived with his mother and Jackson who, according to T. M.’s mother, would often discipline him and at times babysat him. T. M.’s mother stated that the burns had occurred on November 13, 2006. She had returned home from an errand to find T. M. sitting in the bathtub, burned. T. M. had been under Jackson’s care at the time. The burns worsened over the next week, but neither T. M.’s mother nor Jackson obtained medical help for the boy until November 20.
