After the "some Puerto Rican guy" defense failed, Stanley Schneider had recently turned to the "He found Jesus even though he had nothing to repent from" defense:Quote:
A Houston jury sentenced David Temple to life in prison Friday for the 1999 murder of his pregnant wife Belinda in their Katy home.
Jurors deliberated for just over two hours before handing the ex-high school football coach the maximum sentence more than two decades after he shot and killed his wife.
They also had prison ministers testifying on his behalf about the good he would do as a preacher.Quote:
Temple's lawyers highlighted their client's ministry during 13 years behind bars.
"The people we met who worked with David in prison, out of prison, in the Harris County Jail said that David was special," defense attorney Stanley Schneider told jurors.
