Show Notes
Tanner Horner, the former delivery driver convicted of killing seven-year-old Athena Strand, is now facing the jurys decision on his punishment. The trials punishment phase is ongoing in Fort Worth, with the jury considering either death or life without parole. Horner was found guilty of capital murder and aggravated kidnapping after he admitted to strangling Athena, who was alive in his van, and hiding her body. The defense argued for leniency due to Horners Aspergers, potential brain damage, and his mothers alcohol consumption during pregnancy. The trial has been marked by emotional testimonies from Athenas loved ones and law enforcement, as well as graphic evidence. The case has also led to the creation of Texass new Athena Alert to expedite missing child searches.
