Darlie Routier

Darlie has been in prison since she was arrested and charged for the murders of her sons, Devon and Damon, on June 18, 1996. She was convicted of the murder of Damon on February 4, 1997 and has resided on death row in Gatesville, Texas, since that time. Her case is currently in the appeals process. She testified at trial on January 29, 1997.
