FORT WORTH (AP) — On a bitter cold night
in December 1995, police say Diane Zamora and
David Graham returned from a foggy lake, leav
ing the body of a bludgeoned and shot 16-year-
old girl lying in an overgrown field.
They knew their fate relied on keeping a pact
of silence.
Now, as the capital murder trial of Zamora be
gins Monday morning, the ex-lovers’ fates may
hinge on just how much they are willing to turn
on each other.
Zamora’s defenders are giving hints they
will argue Graham shot Adrianne Jones with
out her help, that in an emotional outburst he
acted alone.
The slaying allegedly was in retaliation for a
one-time fling between Jones and Graham when
all three were in high school.
According to statements Graham and Zamo
ra allegedly have given police, they lured Jones to
a secluded road, Zamora hit the girl with a
dumbbell weight, then Graham shot her in the
head when she tried to flee.
During a late-night chat about relationships
with her Naval academy friends, Zamora non
chalantly said the worst thing she had ever done
for love was murder, according to prosecutors.
Her friends told academy officials and soon
after, Zamora and Graham were both arrested. If
convicted, Zamora will receive a life sentence.
Graham will be tried this summer.
Immediately after their arrest, both Zamora
and Graham seemed intent on staying true to
their relationship.
From their cells in Tarrant County Jail, they ex
changed several letters with each other and
friends proclaiming their love.
“Fm going to get out of here, just you wait,”
she wrote in one letter to another inmate in Sep
tember 1996.
But the love has long been reported to
have soured.
When attorneys for Zamora began to argue that
the two should be tried separately for the crime be
cause some of Graham’s statements were false,
correspondence between the two stopped.
Last week, lead defense attorney John
Linebarger set the foundation for the argument
that Graham was the lone killer by carefully ex
plaining the law of accomplices to a pool of jurors.
“There is no such thing as an accomplice after
the fact in Texas,” Linebarger said.
“If you are in the presence of a crime as it is
committed, you have no duty under the law to
report that crime.”
Prosecutors parried the assertion by explain
ing to jurors that even if a defendant did not kill
someone they can still be guilty of murder if they
participated in any way.
“In the state of Texas, there’s no such thing as
accomplices or accessories,” Parrish said. "Here,
if you participate in any part of the crime, you’re
guilty of the worst crime being committed.”
