Snapped Carla Hughes and Avis Banks

Status: Incarcerated

In season 7, episode 30 the murder of her lover 's pregnant fiancée, Avis Banks by Carla Hughes is shown. This murder occurred in the state of Mississippi . Oxygen describes this episode of Snapped as Carla Hughes was a middle school teacher who was suspected in the November 2006 slaying of her lover 's pregnant fiancée in their garage

Pittman met Hughes in August 2006 at Chastain Middle School, where they both were teachers. They became friends and began a sexual relationship. Pittman testified that Banks had been unaware of his relationship with Hughes. According to Pittman, Hughes had remained in the relationship despite her knowledge that Pittman planned to marry Banks and that Banks was pregnant with his child. Pittman said Hughes had referred to him as her “future husband” when they were around Hughes's friends and relatives. Pittman also testified that Hughes had been unhappy that Pittman would not leave Banks. Pittman testified that he repeatedly had told Hughes that he was not going to leave Banks to be with her, even when Hughes believed that she was pregnant.1 He said that on one occasion, Hughes had started to drive to Pittman's and Banks's house to reveal her affair with Pittman, but Pittman had stopped her by threatening to call the police. Hughes had known where Pittman and Banks lived because she had been there on three prior occasions.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving 2006, Pittman and Banks were in Picayune, Mississippi, visiting Banks's family. That day, Hughes and Pittman met at a hotel in Picayune. Because Pittman would not stay out late to be with Hughes, the evening ended on a bad note. On Sunday, Hughes told Pittman that “from this point on some things are going to change.” Pittman testified that, for the next few days, their relationship was more distant.

Four days later, on the afternoon of November 29, 2006, Pittman dropped off groceries at Hughes's house to keep cool in her refrigerator while he coached basketball practice at Chastain Middle School. Pittman left Hughes's house around 5:10 p.m. or 5:15 p.m.; practice began around 5:30 p.m. that evening and lasted until 7:30 p.m. or 7:45 p.m. Pittman spoke to Banks at 5:12 p.m. and at 5:36 p.m. that evening, when Banks was driving home from work. After practice, Pittman returned to Hughes's house to pick up his groceries and noticed that Hughes was unusually quiet.



Carla Hughes is convicted of two counts of capital murder, sentenced to serve two consecutive life sentences without parole.
