    Brian Allen Womble - Arizona Death Row




    Facts of the Crime:

    Brian Womble conspired with his brother, Paul Speer, to kill Adan and Enriqueta Soto. Speer was in jail awaiting trial for a burglary he committed with his other brother, Chris Womble, at the Soto residence. While Speer was in jail, he and Womble, plotted over the phone to kill the Soto's who were to be witnesses in Speer's burglary trial.

    In the early hours of May 25, 2002, Womble broke into the Soto residence and shot Adan and Enriqueta while they slept with their baby boy between them. Enriqueta awoke in pain, not knowing she had been shot and called 911 after failing to wake Adan. Enriqueta, then 30, was permanently debilitated. Adan, 42, died with his arms around his son. Two other children were asleep in the Soto residence at the time.

    Womble was sentenced to death on August 9, 2007.

    Paul Speer was also sentenced to death for his participation in this crime. For more on Speer, see: http://www.cncpunishment.com/forums/...ght=paul+speer
