FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A Texas woman who caused her lover's shooting death by falsely crying rape was convicted Friday of involuntary manslaughter.
Tracy Denise Roberson, 37, cried a bit when the verdict was announced. The punishment phase was set for Monday, and she faces two to 20 years in prison.
In late 2006, Darrell Roberson came home from a late-night card game to find his scantily clad wife with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway. Tracy Roberson was with her lover but cried rape, and her husband fired four shots into the truck as Devin LaSalle drove off, killing him.
Darrell Roberson initially was arrested, but a murder charge was later dropped and a grand jury indicted Tracy Roberson instead.
During her three-day trial, defense attorneys called no witnesses but blamed LaSalle's death on Darrell Roberson's jealousy and rage.
But prosecutors placed all the blame on Tracy Roberson, showing evidence of the affair with LaSalle, 32, and a text message in which she invited him to her house that evening.

agreed!!
The punishment for adultery is NOT death. The murderer was whoever pulled the trigger, although shes not entirely blameless in provoking a situation. Bloody hell.
Why was he carrying a gun anyway?
I can understand if someone kills someone else in self defense, but firing 4 shots in the back of someones head as they drive away is cold and premediated even if he was pissed off at him

I'm pretty sure the article says she didn't call any witnesses. That being the case, we can no more assume he was simply a 'jealous' husband taking his anger out on someone in a fatal manner - then we could assume he was a 'purple' husband. There was no evidence presented of either of those possibilities so far as I can see here.
I have no problem with rapist getting shot for their efforts. At the same time, I have even less problem with folks that call 'rape' falsely getting shot.

I don't think so, Suzy. He thought the guy had just violated his wife, he was protecting her and I think he had every right to shoot the guy under that pretense. That was defense of his wife. I think what's colder than shooting him is the wrench in his gut when he found out his slut wife was cheating on him. He should have shot her too. Damn, I hate infidels.

It's called adultery which is actually illegal in many places but rarely if ever acted upon. As I said before, the guy *thought* his wife was being raped- under that pretense all bets are off. It took me a little time to come to this but I do feel the wife helped him pull that trigger. And it wasn't just "a man having sex with a woman" it was a woman breaking her vows she made presumably to God toward her man. Call me archaic or what have you but i don't take that stuff lightly.
I realize we're not going to shoot everybody who does that or we'd be in population decline but my feeling is that the husband did right, only under false pretense. That's the kicker as I see it. he was protecting her and she pretty much ruined his life.

He shot a man in the back ........no trial just the death penalty.
and for a husband to shoot someone in the back I'm wondering what kind of life that woman led?
So men are shot now for having sex with women?
the story doesn't make any sense. so women have to go to jail now because they have affairs? That just stupid, and very archaic.
Here's my problem with your logic. If I am to forget how he found her- forget she was crying rape- then I might just as well forget he shot the guy.
If he walked up to the guy in a bar and accused him of having sex with his wife and then shot him, okay i can see your argument. But you are factoring in a jealous rage, where there was no evidence that he was in a jealous rage at the time of the shooting.
Shooting someone you believe is fleeing the scene of a crime against your wife? If that man had broken in and raped the mans wife and he came upon it.... never would have convicted him, IMO. The fact that she lied, yep - nail her hide to the wall.

....Assistant District Attorney Sean Colston declined to comment on specifics of the case or the grand-jury proceedings but said Texas law allows a defendant to claim justification if he has "a reasonable belief that his actions are necessary, even though what they believe at the time turns out not to be true."
Legal experts said they have never heard of a case quite like this before but the legal theory behind it seems sound.
......When Darrell Roberson, 38, who works at a real-estate firm, arrived home, he saw his wife, clad in a robe and underwear, with a man in a Chevrolet pickup, police said.
When Tracy Roberson cried that she was being raped, LaSalle tried to drive away and Darrell Roberson drew the gun he was carrying and fired several shots at the truck, authorities said.

Well I think it is a gun issue. Had the husband not had the gun so readily available, then (it is more likely) that this would have been resolved as it should of been done - by people how are trained in finding out the truth, oh and the divorce courts It is a gun issue!

For instance, when the husband saw the two in the truck and the wife began yelling rape. Surely, the driver must have protested her accusations as she was leaving the vehicle. He then had to take the time to start the truck, engage the transmission and perhaps begin backing out of the driveway.
The person responsible in my view is the licensed gun owner who has the onus to be sure of what is happening before deciding on any action which could result in death. It is assumed that he would surely be the clearest thinking individual involved as he is the person permitted to carry and use the gun.
I wonder if the dead guy also had a gun and chose to leave rather than use the weapon.
Maybe we could also wonder if the wife was perhaps still in the truck? Maybe hubby thought she was being abducted? Maybe he was simply firing to disable the truck and a bullet veered tragically off course. Maybe a million other possible scenarios, who the heck knows. A jury listened to the evidence. I'm sure we all are missing a detail or two here.
I don't own a gun. But I certainly would not assume that anyone standing in front of me holding a gun is -by nature of being permitted to carry said gun- the clearest thinking individual involved in the confrontation with me.

I don't think he should own a gun legally or illegally. I also don't think he has the right to anothers life, or pass judgment.
Also he wasn't defending his family, the man was trying to leave.

Firstly she lied about the rape and was just having an affair and panicked when hubby came home. Poor bloke had no chance, a man with a gun and a liar, he had no bloody chance. They should both stand trial.
Feel sorry for the next bloke who pisses him off, the last got 4 bullets in him.

Its not our use of Guns that makes them dangerous, its our failure to properly sentence criminals who use guns in the commission of a crime. Use a gun and be gunned down, is my phiolosophy... Use a gun and go to jail? for what? so you can learn how to use a gun and not get caught from other hardened criminals? I dont think so.
Kill the criminals and you wont have criminals.
So you dont see the killer of the criminals as "criminals"? What divides them if its done your way?

Not to nitpick and you can let me know if I'm mistaken, but many of our states still have laws on the books against adultery. North Dakota was one until recently and if I'm not mistaken so is my state of AZ. And I also came across some information stating that in military law, under the military's Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) it is a felony offense that can result in a maximum punishment of 1 year in jail and a dishonorable discharge. Under Article 134 of the UCMJ. Is that accurate, Jester?
As for the states themselves, like a lot of other sexual situations (sodomy, oral, anal, bestiality, etc) the laws are old and rarely enforced.
