* ''Santillian v. State'', 182 S.W.2d 812, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/182_S.W.2d_812.pdf#page=4 815] (Tex.Crim.App. 1944) ("Therefore a child who could never be 'convicted of a crime in any court' is not amenable to the pains and penalties of perjury, and therefore could not testify in any court. If such were true, then the result would be to deny to such child the equal protection of the laws, as guaranteed in the 14th Amendment to the Federal Constitution. If the child were hurt in an accident, with no witness save the child, it would have no protection under the law. Again, on the criminal side, in cases of rape under the age of consent, the female could not be heard to testify, she being not punishable under the law of perjury.")
