Love, money & murder — things that never mix well in Texas.
In 1987, Frances Newton’s quiet Houston home became the scene of unthinkable tragedy: her husband and two children murdered. The police called it diabolical. The press called it cold-blooded. And the state of Texas called for justice. A life for a life.

In this week’s Love Kills, I am spilling the tea on the case that made Frances Newton the first Black woman executed in Texas since the 1800s and how she went to the death chamber saying it wasn't her.
