3 year old Jesse Fisher Jr. was a typical, loud, rowdy, rough-n-tumble toddler boy. He sustained some kind of bumps and bruises on a pretty daily basis. But on March 30, 2010, Jesse was on a life flight to Cook's Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas with a severe head injury. His injuries didn't match up with the version of events coming from the man taking care of Jesse at the time, and Denton County Sheriff's Investigators would soon find out why.A special thank you to Prosecutors Tony Paul and Michael Graves of the Denton County District Attorney's office (@DentonCountyDA) for their assistance and involvement in this episode!Social Media:Email - lonelaw18@gmail.comTwitter - @lonestarlawpodFacebook - @LoneStarLawPodFacebook Messenger - https://m.me/LoneStarLawPodResources:www.star-telegram.comwww.texashomepage.comlaw.justia.comdreamindemon.comSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/lonestarlawpod)
You've already heard poor, poor, pitiful Kyle's side of the story that he was a broken man who snapped under the stress of losing everything he loved. But Melissa's side of the story paints a very different picture of a man hell bent on maintaining power and control, no matter what it took. And it's time for me to tell it.Sponsored by Sentry On Site Security (& Private Investigations) sostx.usSocial Media:Twitter: @lonestarlawpodemail: lonelaw18@gmail.comFB Messenger: m.me/LoneStarLawPodResources:www.unwomen.orgThe National Domestic Abuse Hotline www.thehotline.orgTexas Council for Family Violence www.tcfv.orgNational Coalition Against Domestic Violence www.ncadv.orgPsychology TodaySound and Music:https://freesound.org/people/shadydave/https://freesound.org/people/markiboy123/https://freesound.org/people/ValentinSosnitskiy/https://freesound.org/people/Sandhwani/https://freesound.org/people/serzz/https://freesound.org/people/timcam/https://freesound.org/people/kaponja/https://freesou...
In the cozy little university town of Nacogdoches, Texas, one family almost made history. Two members of the same family became victims of two separate crimes in two different locations at the same time. Or was there something much more sinister to the story?

Deborah (Debbie) Fontenot Davenport was a beautiful, spirited, kind-hearted mother of three. There wasn't anyone that didn't love her. Except Willie Mack Modden. Modden took Debbie's life, but he was going to fight for his. The trials and subsequent appeals would be a string of firsts for the state of Texas and for the US. And a land mark US Supreme Court decision to ban the execution of persons with intellectual disabilities would save him only hours before he was set to die by lethal injection. There was no doubt he was guilty, but the question of exactly how guilty is at the heart of the matter. Follow along while I discuss the capital murder trials and appeals of Willie Mack Modden and celebrate the life of Deborah Fontenot Davenport.
