"The Capital Aggrevation Question: Does Lisa Ann Coleman deserve to die?," is by Chase Hoffberger in the current issue of the Austin Chronicle.
On Friday, Sept. 5, the Office of Capital Writs (the state agency charged with representing inmates appealing a death sentence) filed an application for retrial with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on behalf of Lisa Ann Coleman, a 38-year-old Arlington woman found guilty in the July 2004 kidnapping and subsequent starvation death of 9-year-old Davontae Williams.
And:
Should Coleman's execution take place, she will become the ninth woman put to death in Texas since the mid-1800s, the ninth inmate executed this year, and the 517th since the 1976 reinstatement of the death penalty in Texas.
