Man Convicted In Murder Of A&M Coed Save Email Print

(October 9, 2008)--A jury Thursday in Houston convicted a man accused of strangling his former girlfriend, a Texas A&M freshman, and then burning her dismembered body on two outdoor grills.

Jurors deliberated for about four hours Thursday before finding Timothy Wayne Shepherd guilty of murder Thursday.

Shepherd showed no emotion when the verdict was announced in a Houston courtroom.

Shepherd was accused of killing and dismembering Tynesha Stewart, 19, last year after a fight between the former lovers.

Stewart disappeared after visiting her former boyfriend, who lived in the same apartment complex as her mother.

He initially told police she left his apartment wearing pajamas and carrying a cell phone, but later admitted he killed her and then cut up her body and burned the body parts in his patio grill.

The jury was set to begin hearing evidence Thursday in the punishment phase.

Shepherd faces a possible sentence of life in prison.

Just life without parole? So not only do we have to bailout corporations who can't pay their bills, we'll also shovel out even MORE tax money to feed, clothe and medicate another dirt bag?!

He should get the death sentence. Cut him up and cook him for supper.

Wish there was a law that truly protects our wives, sisters, mothers, daughters, nieces and all women from these "stalkers", these "control freaks" and potential and sometimes "killers" We need to start protecting before there is an incident. How sad this is.

Lethal Injection is way too easy for this guy, but he needs to be put away permanently!!

Stop making the good people pay for his life, just sentence him to death and move him to the death chamber immediately, a crime this heinous with the evidence presented shows that any appeals will have the same outcome. Stick him and kill him.
