Summary of Offense: Convicted and sentenced to death for the March 12, 1979 murder of a convenience store clerk.

On the morning of March 12, 1979, San Antonio Police were dispatched to a local convenience store. When they arrived they found the clerk, Mary Francis Davis, in a bathroom stall with gunshot wounds on both temples. More than $600 was missing from the cash register and the last entry on the cash register tape reflected a 79-cent purchase.

The day after Davis' murder, police stopped Satterwhite for speeding. At the time of the arrest, Sharon Bell was a passenger in Satterwhite's car. Bell claimed that a gun police found in the car was hers. She was arrested for unlawfully carrying a weapon.

A few days later, Bell was arrested again. During an interview with police, she said that she had been involved in the robbery and murder of Mary Francis Davis, but said that Satterwhite was the person who shot and killed Davis. Two eyewitnesses identified Satterwhite in the store that day. Bell testified against Satterwhite and received a 20-year sentence for aggravated robbery.

After Satterwhite's first death sentence was reversed in 1988, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death a second time.
