He had known Burden for about a year and had allowed her to live in his home for about a month. A few weeks before the killing, he reported to police that she’d stolen his television. He told members of his church that Burden was abusive and threatened him when he didn’t give her money.
Burden reportedly told investigators that Davis didn’t drink or do drugs and treated her well.
“He’s just so perfect. He doesn’t do nothing (sic) wrong ever. … He just goes to church and goes to work. Then comes home.”
Even so, Burden at trial likely would have tried to convince jurors that she was the victim of abuse. The plea agreement spares the slain man’s family from having to listen to such claims, Stern said.
Castleberry said he knows plea agreements can be unpopular but they serve a good purpose when victims’ families are spared listening to ugly testimony.
Burden has five prior felonies, all for property crimes. She has struggled with addiction and supported herself through prostitution, said her public defender, Don Wackerman.
