Jury hears closing arguments in abduction, slaying case
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) —
Prosecutors showed pictures of a
shallow grave where Lisa Rene
was buried, trying to convince a
jury Friday that her slaying was
premeditated.
Government attorney Paul
Macaluso asked the jurors: “Why
do you dig a grave? That really
answers the question for you.”
Attorneys began closing argu-
ments Friday afternoon in the pun-
ishment phase of Orlando Hall’s
trial. Hall was convicted Tuesday of
helping beat Miss Rene to death
with a shovel after she was raped
by him and four others in Texas
and Arkansas over a two-day peri-
od.
Hall, 24, of El Dorado, Ark.,
faces execution or life imprison-
ment for the abduction and slaying
of the 16-year-old Rene.
The teen-ager, who had moved to
Arlington from St. Croix, U.S. Vir-
gin Islands, three months before
the attack, was taken and killed as
retribution for a drug ripoff by her
brothers. As she was being abduct-
ed, Miss Rene phoned 911 and
made a chilling plea for help.
“It was not an accidental
killing,” Macaluso said. “They
took her out there and began beat-
ing her over the head with a shovel
anywhere from five to 25 times.
Then buried her alive. They killed
her.”
Miss Rene’s mother and sisters
cried during Macaluso’s graphic
description of her abduction, rape
and killing.
“You can live your-whole life
and have a myriad of experiences,
and never know that evil exists.
Then you meet someone like
Orlando Hall. He’s proof positive
of it,” the prosecutor said.
Defense attorney Michael Ware
told the jury that Hall could never
be a danger to society if they
spared his life and sentenced him
to life without parole.
