ADVERTISEMENTS
That's the headline from the Houston Chronicle report on the Houston trial of Robert Fratta.  It was written by Brian Rogers.  LINKA taut and emotional roller coaster ride ended Saturday when 12 jurors decided to send Robert Fratta back to death row. The former Missouri City public safety officer was convicted May 15 for the second time of hiring two men to shoot his wife, Farah, in 1994. His original conviction had been overturned.And:Fratta?s original 1996 conviction was overturned when an appeals court ruled that the confessions of his co-conspirators, Howard Guidry and Joseph Prystash, should not have been admitted into evidence because Fratta?s lawyers could not cross-examine them. The two remain on death row.
