She received a death sentence a month later.On appeal, attorneys claimed that Parker should not have been charged with capital murder since the baby might not have been alive when she was removed from the mother's womb, making the aggravating offense of kidnapping irrelevant because it is impossible to kidnap an unborn person.Additionally, they argued that Parker's trial was unfair due to widespread media attention and social media criticism during the sentencing phase.The Guardian reported this month that Parker’s appeals have so far failed to overturn her conviction or death sentence. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals maintained her crime, conviction, and sentence; last month, the US Supreme Court declared it would not consider her case because she was not given a fair trial. There is no set date for the execution.Parker has exhausted her direct appeals, but no execution date can be set until her habeas corpus review is complete. That process, which moves through state and federal courts, can take years.Read more: House of the Dragon: Sheepstealer rider Nettles swapped for Rhaena Targaryen in major twist, fans shockedTaylor Parker in Maternal InstinctsMaternal Instinct premiered on Netflix on June 12.The documentary explores the crime that made headlines in Texas in October 2020.
