    Guy Stephen Alexander - Texas




    Facts of the Crime:

    Death-row inmate who killed elderly Houston woman in 1989 to be resentenced

    A death-row inmate who killed a 75-year-old Houston woman more than two decades ago will get a new punishment trial.

    Guy Alexander was convicted of capital murder in the 1989 beating death of Wilma Wofford and sentenced to die.

    But his attorney argued that the trial judge failed to allow evidence regarding Alexander’s mental capacity and drug-abuse issues.

    So now, Alexander will be resentenced.
