Davis was the Texas O. J. Simpson. In 1977 he was the wealthiest man in American history ever to be tried for capital murder, and he was found not guilty. A year later, he was arrested for solicitation of murder, and my first big assignment was covering the trial in Houston. As naive as it may seem, I was surprised to learn that trials aren’t a sea...
I developed my technique during the Houston trial. At first, I used all these pastels. But I was under such heavy time constraints, I had to make every stroke count. By the end I was much more economical. I was instinctively grabbing pencils, using just a handful of colors. This image of Priscilla is from the early style. She’d toned down her buxom...
One of Haynes’ strategies was to try the victim. In the Amarillo murder trial, he’d presented Priscilla as a whore and a pill popper and a partier. The issue of her dead twelve-year-old daughter was completely upstaged. In the murder-for-hire trials, he tried to discredit David McCrory, the go-between for Cullen and the hit man. Haynes produced col...
As a defense attorney, Haynes knew that he only needed to raise a reasonable doubt about the prosecution’s case against Davis. So he made the trials last interminably, until the jury not only was confused but just wanted to go home. He called scores of witnesses for each of Davis’s murder-for-hire trials. I think he was trying to make the jury memb...
In the early eighties Lucas was thought to be the most prolific serial killer in American history. He was confessing to all these murders, which allowed district attorneys across the country to close old cases. Then it turned out he probably murdered only one or two. I attended a hearing of his in 1983, and I had my doubts about him. I remember fee...
Fielder was accused of killing her husband, a prominent Fort Worth gynecologist named Darwin, in 1981. Racehorse Haynes defended her, and he said that Darwin had been abusive and made Fielder do weird things sexually. Here Haynes is asking a witness about a cat-o’-nine-tails Haynes said belonged to the victim, as Fielder looks on. I’m sympathetic t...
Routier and her husband, Darin, lived in a nice new house in Rowlett and were “living large,” as he described it. But by 1996 they’d gone into debt, and his business was failing. That’s when two of their three children were murdered. The prosecution’s premise was that Routier had killed them in part to collect the insurance money, and the jury agre...
Schlosser was a Plano mother who killed her baby in 2004 by cutting her arms off. This image was the first thing I saw when I walked into the courtroom. It was the worst feeling I have ever had. The feeling emanating from her was just ghastly, and it gave the room an atmosphere of horror and remorse and absolute insanity.
The Montgomerys and the Gores were good friends from Lucas who went to church together, and Candy Montgomery started having an affair with Allan Gore. When Betty Gore found out, she confronted Candy, and during a struggle, Candy went berserk and hit her with an ax 41 times. She was acquitted of murder in 1980, after a psychiatrist blamed her action...
In 1982 Harrelson was convicted of assassinating John Wood Jr., a federal judge in San Antonio. The atmosphere was tense, and security was tight. The courtroom had this nearly paranoid feel. But there was a good reason: this was the very courthouse where Judge Wood had worked. Harrelson was scary—rumor had it that he’d been involved in the JFK assa...
