WACO (January 25, 2010)—Matt Baker, 38, the former Baptist pastor who was sentenced to 65 years in prison Thursday for the 2006 murder of his wife Kari Lynn, will appeal his murder conviction.
Harold Danford, one of the two attorneys who represented Baker during the trial, filed notice of appeal late Monday afternoon.
Because Baker doesn’t have the money to hire an attorney to handle the appeal, State District Judge Ralph Strother said he appointed Waco lawyer Stan Schwieger to represent him.
Jurors deliberated for about two hours before returning with a decision on punishment, less than the seven hours it took the jury Wednesday night to convict Baker of murder in the April 2006 death of his wife, whom prosecutors said he drugged, handcuffed to a bed under the guise of amorous play, and then suffocated with a pillow.
Baker remains in the McLennan County Jail, awaiting transfer to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
He must serve at least 30 years of the 65-year sentence before he becomes eligible for parole.
