TARRANT COUNTY, Texas – A federal appeals court has denied an appeal from a former Haltom City man condemned for the 2001 beating and strangling of a Haltom City woman he had met at a bar.
Attorneys for convicted killer Cary Kerr told the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that his indictment was flawed, plus instructions to jurors during the punishment phase of his Fort Worth trial in Fort Worth were improper.
He also challenged the state’s use of pancuronium bromide in lethal injections as unconstitutionally cruel.
The appeals court Wednesday rejected his arguments.
