Margaret A. Allen
DC# 699575 BF, born 1/23/66, was sentenced to death from Brevard County on
May 26, 2011 for
torturing and killing her housekeeper, Wenda Wright, whom she thought had stolen money from her purse.
The jury unanimously voted for the death penalty for her. She also got a life sentence for kidnapping. Prosecutors said the torture went on for hours before Wright was strangled with a belt. Allen's roommate, James Martin, and nephew, Quinton Allen, were both convicted for their part in helping her try to bury the body in a shallow grave.
