Description
Crystal Gayle Ledbetter was found guilty by a Harrison County jury of capital murder, acting as a party to the offense. The States evidence showed that, on December 14, 2004, Roger Dale Sanders was stabbed multiple times in the course of being robbed. The evidence further showed that James Box, Ledbetters common-law husband, had set fire (with Sanders body inside) to Sanders truck. Ledbetters punishment was automatically assessed at imprisonment for life. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 12.31(b) (Vernon Supp. 2006). In Ledbetters initial appeal, in two points of error, she challenges the factual sufficiency of the evidence, and in a third point, she challenges the admission of certain specific evidence. In her supplemental brief, Ledbetter raises two additional issues: that the trial court erred in overruling an objection to the States closing argument and that the evidence is legally insufficient to show she is guilty of capital murder, as opposed to murder. We affirm the trial courts judgment.
