Appellate Court Reviewing Hunt County Murder Conviction

Chacey Poynter Hunt County SO

The Fifth Court of Appeals in Dallas will review the case of a Hunt County woman sentenced to life in prison for the murder of her husband, a University Park Fire Department Captain. Attorneys for Chacey Poynter of Royse City claim in their appeal that she did not receive a fair trial. They say she was never sufficiently advised of her constitutional right to have an attorney during her initial questioning by law enforcement officers.
