Cargill Gets Death Penalty
Posted/updated on: June 2, 2012 at 7:43 am
TYLER – The jury that last week found Kimberly Cargill guilty of capital murder has now sentenced her to death. The panel returned the verdict around 9:30 Thursday night. As in all death penalty rulings, the case will automatically be appealed.
Cargill was charged with the June 2010 death of Cherry Walker. Walker was killed one day after she was subpoenaed to testify in a custody hearing over Cargill’s 4-year-old son. Cargill testified Wednesday that walker died of a seizure. Cargill said she tried CPR on her, but was unsuccessful. She then testified that she burned the body.
