False Rape Accusation Leads to Murder, Prison

Tracy Denise Roberson, a 37 year old woman from Texas, has been convicted of manslaughter in the death of her lover, the late Devin LaSalle. In 2006, Mr. Roberson's husband returned home late at night to find his nearly-naked wife in Mr. LaSalle's pickup truck. When the adulterous wife realized she had been spotted, she started screaming that she was being raped and jumped out of the truck. Mr. LaSalle then began to drive away, but the protective husband, Darrell Roberson, shot and killed the man he thought just raped his wife. Although initially arrested for murder, a grand jury refused to indict him and the wife was charged instead. On May 3, 2008, Tracy Denise Roberson was convicted of manslaughter and will face 2 to 20 years in prison. A key piece of evidence was a text message the adulteress sent to Mr. LaSalle inviting him to the residence that night.
