A state court has denied the appeal of a Tyler man accused of killing a Trinity University student in 2017, paving the way for his retrial. Mark P. Howerton’s first murder trial ended with the jury deadlocked.
Mark Howerton leaves the courtroom with his defense team after Visiting Judge Raymond Angelini presiding declared a mistrial in Howerton's murder trial, who was accused of killing 19-year-old Trinity University student Cayley Mandadi in 2017, in the 144th state District Court of the Cadena-Reeves Criminal Justice Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Dec. 12, 2019.
Howerton has maintained his innocence. At trial, his attorney, John Hunter, alleged that Mandadi agreed to go to Houston with Howerton after the festival, and that they stopped at a gas station and had rough make-up sex. Testimony in his trial established that, at some point, Mandadi stopped breathing, so Howerton drove her to a hospital in Luling. She was covered in bruises and was not wearing pants when they arrived at the hospital. She later died and Howerton was charged with murder, sexual assault and kidnapping.
Mark Howerton stands as the jury recessed for the day following deliberations in the seventh day of Howerton's murder trial in the 144th state District Court in the Cadena-Reeves Criminal Justice Center in San Antonio, Texas, on Dec. 11, 2019. The 24-year-old Tyler man accused of killing a beloved Trinity University student Cayley Mandadi.Hunter also stated in the writ that trying his client again would be double jeopardy.
