A woman who murdered a North Texas minister will spend the rest of her life behind prison walls.
She is only 21 years old, but the rest of Khennedi Thorton's life has been decided. The Dallas woman has been convicted of capital murder and sent to prison for the rest of her life with no chance of parole allowed.
In July of 2020, Thorton went to the home of Reverend Roman Caldwell in Cedar Hill. She had targeted the minister for robbery but it turned into a shooting.
Caldwell was well known and beloved in the area for his work with children with autism and helping single mothers.
Thorton had a chance at least to spend some of her life outside of prison but turned down an alleged plea deal from prosecutors.
