    EX PARTE TAICHIN PREYOR

    Preyor filed a subsequent application for writ of habeas corpus with the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals on October 6, 2011. Today the court dismissed the application as an abuse of the writ without considering the merits of the claims.

    San Antonio woman's convicted killer loses appeal


    HOUSTON (AP) -- A San Antonio man sent to death row for killing a woman during a burglary attempt more than nine years ago has lost an appeal of his case to a federal appeals court panel.

    The ruling Thursday from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals moves 42-year-old Taichin Preyor closer to execution for the fatal stabbing and slashing of Jami Tackett. Tackett's boyfriend also was wounded in the attack at her San Antonio apartment.

    Evidence showed Tackett had been selling drugs to Preyor, who in turn would also deal the drugs.

    Preyer apparently lost his keys at the apartment during the attack. His car was in the parking lot. When he went back inside to search for them, the still blood-covered Preyer was subdued by police.

    He unsuccessfully claimed self-defense.

    A San Antonio man sent to death row for killing a woman during a burglary attempt 12 years ago has received an execution date for this summer.

    Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokesman Jason Clark said Wednesday 45-year-old Taichin Preyor is set for lethal injection July 20.

    Preyor was condemned in 2005 for the fatal stabbing and slashing of 20-year-old Jami Tackett. Tackett's boyfriend also was wounded in the attack at her San Antonio apartment.

    Trial testimony showed Tackett had been selling drugs to Preyor, who in turn would also deal the drugs.

    Preyer apparently lost his car keys at the apartment during the attack and when he went back to search for them, the still blood-spattered Preyer was arrested by police.
