NO NEW TRIAL FOR KILLER OF 7-MONTH

  

85th District Court Judge Kyle Hawthorne denied the motion for a new trial for 38-year-old Talawrence

Tawalarence Tennell

Tennell, the Bryan man convicted last April of beating 7-month old Hailey Burleson to death.

 

Tennell had been high on PCP at the time, but in his motion for a retrial, claimed he had gotten high accidentally.

His lawyer, Lane Thibodeaux had pushed that the defense had not received statements from the mother of Burleson from the DA’s office.

Tennell has been sentenced to life without parole for capital murder.
