GUILTY TX - Moriah Wilson, 25, Cyclist Fatally Shot Before Race, Austin, 2022 *arrest* #9

[Walela]

Another poster first pointed this out to me, but after considerable searching, I have only ever seen the report of this supposed plea deal offer on The Daily Mail. No other media outlet or newspaper has ever mentioned it, other than by referencing them as the source. It makes me wonder if perhaps something was misreported, though I have been assuming it was true.

Yes..me too. I did find it referenced 1 other place but it was only a recounting of the DM article.

 

[SteveP]

I read it at Crimeonline. Linked in last thread.. did not include the terms

Yes, but even that link cites the Daily Mail as the source. I know they are an accepted source here, but it certainly seems that something that important would have been made known to more than just them, like maybe a local media outlet, in a large market area, like Austin. I think I am going to take this one with a grain of salt and a bit of side-eye.

The stitches would be in the crease of the eyelid? Or at the forehead?

Hairline if she had a brow lift

 

[Gypsy Road]

Damn you lot are harsh

In NZ she'd probably end up doing 20 years or so

Wow. 20 years? That’s it? I’ve lived long enough to know 20 years is nothing for brutally taking a life.

I remember 20 years ago like it was yesterday. Time flies.

20 years for brutally murdering someone? That seems ludicrous.

Do you think that's really justice, though? We're talking about a grown adult who planned a violent murder. Why should she get to ever walk free?

20 years (or 30, etc.) later, the victim's family still has to visit their loved-one at a gravesite.

X tweet from last night

Wilson family leaving the courtroom. Hearing Mo’s mom speak tonight for the first time brought me to tears.

I am fine with it

When i was young, it was common to be out in 10, so we've already seen significant inflation of sentences in my lifetime

There's a gag order in place so I'm withholding judgement on why not reported elsewhere and most likely leaked info.

However, given DA Garza's history in Travis County, an offer rings credible to me.

From the quoted link:

Additional details regarding a possible plea deal were not disclosed as Garza’s office reportedly did not respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

You may be right. Hopefully, we will find out after this trial ends.

It sounds like that's what she had done.

On Armstrong's phone, June 10, 2022 there is a list of names with "Allison Paige" on it. June 23, 2022 there is a photo of Armstrong after surgery, staring at camera. Another of her hairline showing surgery marks, one of selfie of Armstrong with bandage around nose.

What happens if the jurors can't agree?

 

[BeachSky]

I think both were brought up by the DA during opening statements. Here's a tweet referencing the escape attempt when he was tweeting all of the opening statements:

View attachment 461803

And from everything I’ve read, these escapes will weigh heavy with sentencing phase.

I thought a reporter asked and found out that a plea deal was never offered to KA.

Gag order is still in effect so not sure about when reporter made inquiry. However, given DM/Crimeonline named Garza's office here, I give it a better than not chance the leaked info credible. IMO, an offer of 40 years w/chance for parole sounds about right to me. (Earlier this year, Garza gave Megan Fieramusca 55 yrs and eligible for parole after 30 years. She was facing death). JMO

Additional details regarding a possible plea deal were not disclosed as Garza’s office reportedly did not respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.

It's scary when sentencing taking longer than verdict... moo

We know it's not inertia!

My guess there are one, or maybe two, that are pushing for a penalty on one end of the scale, and the others at the other end. My guess would be one or two who want her to face something more like 40 years or less, and the rest who want her to get the maximum. I think the closer we get to 5 o'clock on a Friday, the more likely we will get a sentence somewhere in the 60 year range. JMO

What happens if the jurors can't agree?

In the TX case against David Temple, when jurors could not come to a unanimous decision, the sentencing phase was declared a mistrial. A new jury was selected and defendant sentenced this year.

David Temple, former Katy-area coach convicted of killing pregnant wife in 1999, sentenced to life

On Friday, after deliberating for a third time, jurors sentenced the former Katy-area coach to life in prison. The victim's siblings had some final words for the convicted murderer.
