Powell faces sentencing in fatal 1970s Texas murder case
Ted eyed David Lee Powell testified at the punishment phase in Austin that he did not want his lawyers to seek life defense. The 27 year old was convicted of capital murder for the May 18 shooting of Patrolman Ralph Ablanedo after a traffic stop. Jurors must decide between life imprisonment or death, with a finding of unprovoked, deliberate murder and ongoing danger prompting the death penalty. Powell questioned his lawyers on strategy, claiming his family’s money could have funded a better defense.
