Snapped Diane Zamora

Status: Incarcerated

In Oxygen's Snapped, Season 1, episode 9 the story of Her love rival, Adrianne Jones and Diane Zamora is shown. This happens in the state of Texas. Oxygen describes this show as: Diane Zamora, an Annapolis naval cadet, orchestrates the murder of her high-school rival, Adrianne Jones, with her boyfriend David Graham in December 1995.

Diane Zamora is Sentenced to life in prison on February 17, 1998. She will not be eligible for parole for 40 years

Her appeal includes: A jury found Appellant David Christopher Graham guilty of the December 4, 1995 capital murder of a fifteen-year-old high school student, Adrianne Jones, by shooting her in the head twice with a handgun. The State had not sought the death penalty, and the trial judge sentenced Appellant to life in prison. Appellant does not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence, but with fifteen points of appeal presents procedural and constitutional issues about his trial. Appellant asserts that the trial court erroneously allowed the jury to consider inadmissible hearsay, violating Rule 803(24) of the Texas Rules of Evidence and infringing his rights under the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and article 1, section 10 of the Texas Constitution, when witnesses Kristina Mason and Jennifer McKearny repeated for the jury oral statements in which their friend, Diane Zamora, told them how she and Appellant had kidnaped Jones and murdered her. Eventually Appellant, a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and his fiancee, Zamora, a cadet at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, were charged with the crime. Zamora was tried and convicted of capital murder before Appellant's trial began. See generally Zamora v. State, 998 S.W.2d 290 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 1999, pet. filed). Because we find no reversible error, we affirm the trial court's judgment.
