Defense Rests In Parker Murder Trial

Taylor Parker
Bowie County Jail

The defense has rested its case in the sentencing phase of the Taylor Parker capital murder trial in Bowie County. Jurors heard testimony Monday from a neurologist who said the convicted killer’s brain is “broken.” A jury convicted Parker of murdering a New Boston mother and cutting her unborn baby from her womb. The baby was kidnapped but died later. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
