Judge deliberating verdict in capital murder case Miya Shay Updated at 06:14 PM today HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Testimony in the murder trial of Mona Nelson is over. Now we wait for a verdict -- not from a jury but from a judge -- and if that judge decides Nelson is guilty of killing 12-year-old Jonathan Foster, her punishment sentencing will be swift. There are very few options when it comes to punishment in this case. This is a non-death penalty capital murder case, so if the judge finds her guilty, Nelson will spend the rest of her natural life behind bars without a chance for parole. After two weeks of testimony in her capital murder trial, Nelson's attorney began closing arguments with a simple assertion the that prosecution has not proven their case. "The case got weaker and weaker and weather, and there are more and more unanswered questions now than there were at the beginning," said defense attorney Allen Tanner. Tanner says Nelson didn't kill Jonathan, nor did she torch his body. But prosecutor Connie Spence was unrelenting, saying Nelson was the one who kidnapped and killed the little boy on Christmas Eve three years ago. ...more at link http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?secti ... id=9219517 |

Before she was ID'd, and I am going from memory, there was a video of her truck pulling away from the ditch afterwards. I remember that from Houston news early on. I haven't seen anything else about it. It's very hard to follow that case. Here in Texas, they have no such "Sunshine Laws" so having to rely on local reporting is dismal, at best. |

I'm with you on this one - blowtorch + child + death = death penalty. Years ago, Dennis Miller said of a confessed baby murderer, something to the effect of, "He should have been executed before completing the "t" sound in 'I did It'. " Sounds about right to me. |
