Texan Women Gets Fifty For Killing her Husband

Vera Elizabeth Guthrie-Nail

Texas NewsA woman from Northern Texas will be receiving a verdict of 50 years for killing her soon to be divorced husband.

Vera Elizabeth Guthrie-Nail admitted Wednesday in McKinney the plot to perform capital murder.

Vera Guthrie-Nail is being arraigned on charges of capital murder and a plot to commit capital murder.

She will be receiving a sentence of life imprisonment without parole if proven guilty.

This case is about  the death of Craig Nail at the Frisco home, the partner’s former residence. Nails girlfriend, Therisa Johnson was also hurt. The Nails were going to file a divorce and had a problem about who will be their daughter’s main guardian.


The gunmen Mark Lyle Bell admitted killing Nail last year to capital murder. The verdict granted upon him was life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The plea deal of Guthrie-Nail's came out when Bell attested in her trial.

Her is the impact statement of Nail’s girlfriend Therisa Johnson.

“He’s not here anymore because of what you did,” Johnson told Guthrie-Nail. “I just don’t know how you could do something so evil and so mean-spirited.”

Nails daughter wrote, “My whole life turned upside down”. “I stopped being me,” She dropped from school and attempted suicide.

Texas man freed after DNA clears him of 1988 rape

Texas News-Having a life away from your family is like living in darkness. Much worse if you are go behind bars for allegedly committed a serious crimes you know yourself you did not.


In FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) a man who spent more than two decades behind bars was finally freed from serving his sentence in jail. It was through DNA test that set him free. The test proved that he was truly innocent from the crime that was pointing on him.


David Lee Wiggins was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1989 from raping a 14-year-old Fort Worth girl.


The DNA testing earlier this month excluded Wiggins as the person who committed the crime. Tarrant County prosecutors said DNA evidence demonstrated his innocence.


‘‘I hold no bitterness,’’ Wiggins said in court after the judge’s ruling. ‘‘I'm thankful to Jesus Christ. He said he could move mountains, and surely this was a mountain. ... And to the victim: I'm not mad at you. I don’t hold you responsible.’’


The truth will set you free. No matter how long it takes just don’t give up. Forgive those who do you wrong and you will be rewarded just like what happened to Wiggins.


After his conviction is formally reversed, Wiggins will be eligible for $80,000 a year in compensation that Texas pays to wrongfully convicted ex-inmates.


The amount he will received cannot compensate for the years that was lost to him and to his family. But it was a big help for him to start a something new and to have a better life outside the prison.


Wiggins would be the second person to have a conviction overturned by DNA in Tarrant County since 2001. It only shows that mistaken identity in Texas is serious.


Wiggins said he agreed to be in a police lineup in 1988 because he knew that he didn’t commit the crime and thought he had nothing to worry about. Instead, it led to a 24-year nightmare that ended Friday.


‘‘I always believed the truth would come out,’’ he said.
Having mistaken as a criminal could destroy everything you have. It is a very serious crime that should be stop because it can ruin the life of innocent people.

Randy Travis Assaulted The Husband of Her Friend

Texas News-Randy Travis was named for an assault that took place at Prestonwood Baptist Church parking lot last Thursday night. A married couple was arguing and he suddenly stepped into the argument. 

According to the spokesman of the city police, Travis was under the influence of alcohol. "Witnesses are reporting and our investigation revealed that Mr. Travis assaulted the husband," added by Officer David Tilley, and that Travis was a friend of the wife. 

No injury was reported but the cause of the incident remains unclear. A traffic ticket was issued to Travis since the incident happened in the parking lot. Tilley said, "It must have been something very minor, I can tell you that," and he added that an offense of unwanted physical contact could be charged to Travis. The singer was born in South Carolina and was a Grammy Award winner. 

A few of his well-known songs are “Out of My Bones” and “Forever and Ever Amen”. Though he was famous the law exempts no one so he would still have to face the local court to deal with his offense. No comment was given by Travis’ side.

 "I've seen the reports and I don't know where they're getting this information," Tilley said and added that he is in doubt that Travis was intoxicated by the media with the incident. Travis was also found to be lying naked on the road near his car by a Texas trooper earlier this month. 

He was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol and run into highway construction barriers and retaliation earlier this month according to the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office.

Dempster wins it for Texas in 5-1 win over Orioles

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -- Ryan Dempster had some extra rest and a slider that was working.

This was more like the kind of performance from Dempster the AL West-leading Rangers were looking for when they traded for the right-hander three weeks ago.

After giving up eight runs twice in his first three Texas starts, Dempster limited the surprising Baltimore Orioles to a first-inning run and allowed only four hits over eight innings in a 5-1 victory Monday night.

Texas School District Financing Woes

Education is the only wealth that cannot take away from you. It is with you wherever you go. Education can make you a better person and it is a gift that you can share to everyone. We can get education by studying in the school that our government usually provides.

The government sets a budget for the people for education. They build schools; provide books, table, chairs and everything that a student needs for his education. This budget is coming from the taxes that the citizens pay for the improvement of the country.
