Title: Lisa Coleman Could Become The Sixth Woman Executed By Texas Since 1982 Post by: News on September 17, 2014, 03:00:30 PM Texas is scheduled to execute Lisa Ann Coleman, 38, on Wednesday for the 2004 murder of her girlfriend’s 9-year-old son, Davontae Williams.
"The boy’s body was found starved, beaten, and bound with more than 250 scars, according to evidence from the trial. He was dressed only in bandages and a diaper and had been dead for several hours before paramedics arrived at his home. He died of severe malnutrition and pneumonia and weighed only 35 pounds." "Coleman was sentenced to death because prosecutors used the charge of kidnapping against her. They argued that Coleman restrained Davontae from leaving his own house or having visitors and told people he wasn’t at home when he was, the Star-Telegram reported. Prosecutors said keeping his location a secret amounted to kidnapping."
