Thanks Ann, sure wish they were streaming it, but I suppose since there's testimony the judge disallowed it. Darn.

Ex-Katy football coach David Temple found guilty in murder retrial

 

[TDoc72]

Does his time start anew or does he get credit for time served? For example, if the jury gives him 30 years, does he serve that or would it be 21 years (30 -9 yrs he served)?

David Temple gets credit for the time he served - 9 years.

I hope he gets sentenced to Life without the possibility of parole!

The Associated Press has picked up the David Temple guilty verdict story.

I am seeing TV stations other than mainstream Houston media post it on their website.

The Washington Post via The Associated Press has the following:

Texas man convicted second time for wife’s 1999 killing

When I was finally able to watch video of the verdict yesterday, I was of course relieved that the jury convicted him again, but I was also so disturbed by Evan's breakdown. I can't say I blame him, because he is just another of his father's victims, and the Temple family has controlled the narrative his entire life so of course he thinks David is untouchable, like they all do. Still, I couldn't help but wonder if he'd ever shed tears like that for the loss of his mother and sister, or why, if he's so convinced his dad is innocent, that he has not made it his life's mission to bring their real killer(s) to justice. It seems like he's content to operate like the rest of them, as if Belinda never existed and the only victim in all of this is precious, perfect, persecuted David. All of this made me realize the depths of the mental manipulation in the Temple family, and that made me shudder.
