Cry of Rape Lands Cheating Wife in Jail

FORT WORTH, Texas (May 3) - A Texas woman who caused her lover's shooting death by falsely crying rape was convicted Friday of involuntary manslaughter.

Tracy Denise Roberson, 37, cried a bit when the verdict was announced. The punishment phase was set for Monday, and she faces two to 20 years in prison.

What's Your Take?

In late 2006, Darrell Roberson came home from a late-night card game to find his scantily clad wife with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway. Tracy Roberson was with her lover but cried rape, and her husband fired four shots into the truck as Devin LaSalle drove off, killing him.

Darrell Roberson initially was arrested, but a murder charge was later dropped and a grand jury indicted Tracy Roberson instead.

During her three-day trial, defense attorneys called no witnesses but blamed LaSalle's death on Darrell Roberson's jealousy and rage.

But prosecutors placed all the blame on Tracy Roberson, showing evidence of the affair with LaSalle, 32, and a text message in which she invited him to her house that evening.

Hey pompells and gomerp1, where on Earth did you come up with the idea that this has anything to do with Democrats? It just goes to show, you guys are so retarded that you can't even make a coherent argument for anything, so you just blame anything and everything on the other party. Enjoy the bloodbath in November!

Anyone remember the saying,"I miss my wife, but my aim is improving..." Anyone caught cheating should be at the mercy of the spouse. If i walked in on my wife cheating on me something bad would happen. Now i wont kill anyone but the 3 of us wont walk out happy and holding hands i can tell you that. No excuse for cheating.
