On February 4, 1997, in Rowlett, Texas, Darlie Routier was sentenced to death by lethal injection for the murder of her five-year-old son, Damon. While her other son, Devon, was also killed during the same attack, his death never reached a separate trial. Darlie has always maintained that an unidentified intruder broke into their home, assaulted her, and killed her children. Despite her hospital stay and serious injuries, testimony from forensic experts ultimately secured her conviction.

Here are the most recent developments on the case.
