Baytonian murder sentence overturned by Texas court
The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals ordered a retrial after ruling prosecutors failed to prove Ann Battarbee killed her husband Vernon Battarbee by her own action. Evidence showed she discussed killing him and had a lover, but the court found the case needed clearer proof of intent and causation. An autopsy found Seconal in his system, yet testimony cited multiple pills and timing, prompting the retrial decision.
