Lone Star Mystery Brandon Woodruff

Lone Star Mystery Discovery ID describes this episode as the crime rate in rural Royse City, TX is almost non-existent. So when quiet couple Dennis and Norma Woodruff is found murdered in their own home, it sends shock waves through town. As police investigate, it seems the killings...are a family affair. 

Dennis and Norma Woodruff, parents of Brandon Dale Woodruff, were murdered in their manufactured home in Royse City, Texas, on October 16, 2005.    Both Dennis and Norma died as a  result  of  gunshot  wounds  and  multiple  stab  wounds. Brandon  was  soon  arrested  for  their murders.   While  Brandon  was  in  jail  awaiting  trial,  the  Hunt  County  District  Attorney‘s  Office instructed the  Hunt County Sheriff‘s Office to record  Brandon‘s conversations with his attorneys and  provide  the district attorney‘s office  with  copies  of  the  recordings.    The  Texas  Attorney General‘s  Office  agreed  to  prosecute  the  case  after  the  Hunt  County District  Attorney‘s  Office recused.    Prior to trial, Brandon filed a motion to suppress a statement he had given to the police, which the trial court denied.    A jury found Brandon guilty of capital murder, and an automatic life sentence was assessed.

There is a petition to free Brandon, but no one has signed it.
