Farah Baquer Fratta
Summary of Offense:
Howard Guidry was convicted as the triggerman in the November 1994 murder-for-hire of 34-year-old Farah Fratta, wife of former police officer Robert Fratta who was convicted of masterminding her murder and who was himself sentenced to death. Prosecutors said Joseph Prystash, with the promise of a Jeep as renumeration for his part in the plot, arranged the details of the murder and passed the murder weapon to triggerman Guidry. Guidry was paid $3,000 for murdering Mrs. Fratta. Mrs. Fratta was shot twice in the head as she stepped from her car inside her garage. The shooting occurred during the course of a custody battle between the victim and her husband.
Guidry was re-sentenced to death in Harris County in March 2007.
Fratta and Prystash were also sentenced to death.
