USA - Texas. A Waco district court jury once again sentenced Billie Wayne Coble to death

A Waco district court jury once again sentenced Billie Wayne Coble to death in his capital murder sentencing retrial. Coble, 59, was on trial for the 2nd time in Waco's 54th State District Court in the August 1989 shooting deaths of Waco police Sgt. Bobby Vicha and his parents, Robert and Zelda Vicha. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned Coble’s original death sentence on August 14, 2007 (see) because the jury that returned it wasn’t fully allowed to consider potentially mitigating evidence.
