SMITH COUNTY — The Whitehouse mother convicted and sentenced to die for the capital murder of her mentally challenged babysitter was in the Smith County 241st District Court Wednesday morning for a hearing. According to KETK, Judge Jack Skeen appointed attorneys who will handle her appeal.
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.
