    Tracey Lavell Carter - California Death Row


    Tracey Lavell Carter


    Facts of the Crime:

    Convicted and sentenced to death in Los Angeles County on April 20, 1990 for the April 9, 1987 murder of David Thompson. Carter was also convicted, in a single trial, of the robbery of Thompson and his wife, the murder and attempted robbery of another man near 73rd and Hoover streets about an hour after the Thompson slaying, and the attempted robbery and attempted murder of another man in the later incident. Witnesses said Carter and two other men accosted Thompson, a 27-year-old elder of a Tustin church, as he was trying to telephone for help for a disabled church bus. He was robbed of $30 and shot in the head at the corner of Broadway and Slauson. Namora Thompson, who identified Carter at trial, said the men took $10 from her purse, pushed her out of the family’s car and sped away in it. The car was recovered later in another part of the city, and David Thompson’s wallet was recovered from a storm drain after one of Carter’s accomplices admitted to police he had thrown it there.

    On January 12, 2004, the US Supreme Court denied his certiorari petition.

    On April 10, 2013, Carter's case was remanded by the California Supreme Court to the trial court on an ineffective-assistance-of-counsel claim regarding his penalty phase.

    Carters ineffective assistance counsel claim is still pending at the trial court. The court has denied the rest of his claims.
