The p
Rulings supported regarding Fort Worth, Lubbock men sentenced to death
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas Crim
inal Court of Appeals yesterday up
held the murder conviction of a Fort
Worth man who killed his former
girlfriend’s family in retaliation for
testifying against him in an inde
cency trial.
William Wesley Chappell, 63, of
Fort Worth, was sentenced to
death in October 1996 for killing
the family of Jane Sitton, his for
mer girlfriend.
On May 3, 1988, Chappell broke
into the Sitton home, robbed and
shot Lindsey and Elbert Sitton as
they sat watching television in their
bedroom, court records showed.
Chappell then shot Alexandra
Heath while she slept, thinking she
was Jane Sitton. According to au
topsy reports. Heath was shot in
the face four times and in the right
arm twice.
Chappell’s ex-wife, Sally Hayes,
told police he told her he had “shot
Jane, her mother and her daddy.”
When he found out he shot Heath,
rather than Jane Sitton, Chappell
was “shocked,” she said.
Chappell wanted to kill the Sitton
family because they testified against
him for molesting Jane Sitton’s
daughter, court records state. In May
1987, Chappell was convicted of in
decency with a child and sentenced
to five years.
According to court records, while
dating in the early 1980s, Jane Sit
ton, then a teenager, agreed to let
Chappell, who was in his mid-40s,
molest her daughter because Sitton
gave Chappell a venereal disease,
court records says. Sitton’s mother,
Martha Lindsey, later told police
about the molestation, which went
on for six months.
After his molestation trial,
Chappell told Lindsey “it wasn’t
over with yet” and that he “would
get her for that.”
Chappell also allegedly tried to
set fire to the Sitton home in Janu
ary 1988.
The Court of Criminal Appeals
also upheld the conviction of a
Lubbock man who stabbed an el
derly woman 21 times and later
told police, “I want to die as quick
ly as she did.”
Michael F. Rosales, 25, was sen
tenced to death for killing Mary Felder,
67, in her Lubbock home while trying
to rob her for drug money.
In his confession, Rosales said he
went to Felder’s home on June 3,
1997 to rob her so he could buy
more crack cocaine. When she
awoke in the middle of his robbery
attempt, Rosales said he stabbed her
with a kitchen knife, told her he was
sorry, and asked her to die, “but she
kept breathing. ”
Rosales said he knew she was
still alive when he left her apartment
because “I could hear her choking
on her blood.”
According to autopsy reports,
Felder was stabbed 21 times, cut 28
times, had 34 bruises and 31 punc
ture wounds. Police recovered a 4
1/2-inch kitchen knife, a fork and a
bloody pair of needle-nose pliers, all
of which were used to kill the
woman, court records state.
In his confession, Rosales said, “I
don’t deserve to live, and I want
lethal injection or the gas chamber
for me as soon as possible because 1
don’t want to live after I ... tell the
truth about what happened.”
