Court Advances Women Roles in Texas Criminal Appeals
The Court of Criminal Appeals reversed and upheld several sentences involving women. A Dallas man’s liquor factory case saw his wife testify as an accomplice, while a Cherokee case kept a $500 fine alive due to cattle ownership by his wife. Wichita County’s Mrs. Lillie Morgan faced a speeding charge, and a Dallas murder tied to a woman in Lavannie Twitty’s case ended with the death sentence upheld.
