His appeal includes:
Twenty-year-old William Fuller murdered his step-mother, Pauletta Burleson. Fuller's father, appellant, was convicted of capital muder for agreeing to pay Fuller for the murder. Fuller was 11 years old when he began living with appellant and Pauletta. Life was difficult for Fuller in appellant's home. Appellant and Pauletta fought, both verbally and physically, sometimes even using weapons. Pauletta was abusive to Fuller, who was a sickly child with sickle cell anemia. Appellant and Pauletta took government funds intended for Fuller, even after Fuller reached adulthood. Despite appellant's failure to protect Fuller from Pauletta and appellant's own abuse of Fuller, Fuller and appellant often talked and Fuller knew "all of [appellant's] secrets," including his many extramarital affairs.
Appellant would often tell Fuller that he hated Pauletta and wished he could break free from her. Appellant said, "Man, sometimes I wish she would die," but also lamented that she "don't even get sick." Beginning in 2008, appellant began asking Fuller to kill Pauletta, often resorting to tactics such as guilt and physical abuse. Additionally, appellant would promise Fuller a cut of the insurance proceeds appellant would receive as a beneficiary of Pauletta's life insurance policy. Appellant told Fuller he could not just leave Pauletta because "he had been through too much with her" and he "refused to leave without . . . her insurance money." There was also evidence that appellant had been told by the deacons of the church of which he was the pastor that he would be asked to leave his position if the deacons ever had evidence that he engaged in an extramarital affair.
Tyonne Palmer released, she was sentenced to seven years in 2011.
