Because of what you say, there's this sense that if the jury spoke and said she's guilty, then, you know, we have to move heaven and earth to actually change that. And there's another woman, Brittany Holberg, who was convicted of murdering this 80-year-old man in Amarillo. She was a prostitute at the time.

So that eventually got to the Court of Criminal Appeals in Texas and the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans. And her conviction has now been vacated, but it will be challenged by Texas, I'm sure, again.
