Episode 12 - State of Texas v. Linda Anita Carty - Part 2: Misleading the Public

In Episode 12, State of Texas v. Linda Anita Carty, Part 2, Lisa and Kyle continued their look at the case against Carty, who was convicted of capital murder in 2002 for the May, 2001, kidnapping and murder of 20-year old Joana Rodriguez so that Carty could steal Joana’s 4-day old baby.  Carty recruited drug dealers/thugs to commit a home invasion, promising them a large cache of drugs and money.  Joana’s body was found in the trunk of a car rented for Carty by her daughter and Joana’s newborn son, Ray, was found in the daughter’s car, thankfully unharmed.  They talked about Carty’s initial federal habeas claim and her first successive state post-conviction claims, which involved wild accusations of prosecutors’ threats and coercion by her co-defendants.
