Capital murder suspect seeks to recant 2010 confession
An Anahuac capital murder suspect, Kevin Edison Smith, seeks to recant his 2010 confession in the 1996 murder of 13-year-old Krystal Baker. His attorney said motions to suppress the confession could be filed before Judge Carroll E. Wilburn Jr. as prosecutors weigh the plea deal that spared the death penalty. The DA indicated she may remove the no death penalty option if Smith refuses the plea, and the case could trigger suppression hearings as disputes over admissibility unfold.
