Description

After trial by jury, April Suzanne Rhoten was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and sentenced to eighteen years imprisonment. Rhotens sister, Amber Rhoten, discovered text messages on Rhotens cell phone indicating Rhotens intention to kill their father. Amber alerted the police, who investigated the matter and interviewed Rhoten on two separate occasions. During police questioning, Rhoten confessed to agreeing with James Perkins to kill her father and to planning the murder through telephone calls and text messages with Perkins. Before and throughout the guilt/innocence phase of the trial, Rhoten sought to offer expert and lay testimony of her mental retardation to contest that she had the requisite mens rea to commit conspiracy to commit murder. The trial court excluded the evidence under Texas Rule of Evidence 403.
