Woman guilty of strangling mother
LEAGUE CITY — A jury needed just two hours
Monday to find a woman guilty of strangling her mother and dumping her
body in an oil field.
The jury of eight men and four women is
expected today to sentence Erin Ashlyn Moffatt, 20, on her conviction
of murder and tampering with physical evidence in the Sept. 2, 2008,
slaying of Jana S. Moffatt.
“Don’t fall for the cons of a
stripper and a drug addict, because that’s what she is,” Prosecutor
Bill Reed told the jury before it began deliberating. “The last thing
Jana S. Moffatt saw was her only daughter, killing her.”
Moffatt’s
defense team of Lynette Briggs and G. Byron Fulk blamed Moffatt’s
ex-boyfriend, Michael Corey Lewis, 23, and produced an inmate witness,
Robert Wayne Jones, 47, who testified Lewis shook Jana Moffatt until
she didn’t move anymore.
