LUFKIN (AP/Staff) – The Angelina County Sheriff’s Office says Kerry Woodard of Lufkin is held without bond on a capital murder charge. The convicted sex offender is accused of the fatal beating of his girlfriend’s 3-year-old son while she was at work. The case involves the December 2010 death of Zi’Keishun “Zi” Lane. An autopsy determined the boy died of blunt force trauma. Online jail records did not list an attorney for Woodward, who was arrested Wednesday night. Records show Woodard, in 2005 when he was 22 years old, was convicted of having sex with a 14-year-old girl. He was sentenced in 2007 to three years in prison, then paroled the following year.
