TLC grad Emily DeToto ('01) fights for justice and the life of her client in a capital murder case.
Emily's client was the gunman in a home-invasion gone bad. He was
holding a sawed off shotgun and he and 3 other boys were going to do a
drug rip, and were startled to find the homeowner coming down the
stairs. My client shot her in the chest in front of her children and she
died.
The prosecutors for the State of Texas were seeking a
guilty conviction on Capital Murder which would have meant an automatic
sentence of Life Without the Possibility of Parole.
Emily's
client was 22. She fought for him, using the TLC methods she has refined
in several TLC Grad 2 programs, and she ultimately convinced the jury
to find him Not Guilty of Capital Murder. They instead found him guilty
of Felony Murder and sentenced him to 60 years in prison.
The full story will air on A&E on January 3 at 7 pm:
