We, the jury, find the defendant, Diane
Michelle Zamora, guilty
of the offense of capital murder, as
alleged in the indictment
for the 20 year old defendant who had
maintained her innocence for the past 17
months, there was no reaction to the
guilty verdict.
Jurors took six and a half hours to
decide Zamora had ordered the killing
of teenager Adrian Jones for the
16 year old girl's family.
The verdict brought justice, but little
consolation.
We will
never know.
What heights
she would have Rosann to.
Because of this animal act,
my sister is very great.
Jimmy, a lot to me.
And when she died, something was ripped
out of my heart
there will never be replaced.
Victim impact statements brought tears to
the eyes of many in the courtroom,
especially from the jurors.
But there was no emotion from the woman
who was a naval midshipman, was among the
nation's brightest, but gave it all
up. What in a jealous rage, she ordered
her fiance, David Graham, to kill.
But for Diane Zamora, Adrian walks this
earth today.
She was the moving force behind the
death of a baby in
the state of Texas, having waived the
death penalty.
Your punishment is hereby set at life in
prison.
Zamora was immediately sentenced, and
afterward it was her own family who broke
down in tears.
But still, her parents say they believe
in their oldest child.
I think the defense team,
very excellent defense team
believing. And Diane, the way we believe,
you know, we love her.
Continue doing that.
