Tracy Denise Roberson is a 37 year old woman from Arlington, Texas convicted of manslaughter in the death of lover, Devin LaSalle, a 32-year-old UPS employee.
According to authorities, in late 2006, her husband returned home from a late night card game to find Roberson scantily clad with LaSalle in LaSalle's pickup truck, at which point Roberson allegedly claimed LaSalle had raped her. LaSalle then began to drive away but Roberson's husband, Darrell Roberson, shot him as he fled, killing him. Darrell Roberson was initially charged with the murder. On March 28, 2007 a grand jury decided not to indict Darrell Roberson. The following day, the Tarrant County grand jury returned an indictment against Tracy Roberson for manslaughter and making a false report to police.
On May 2, 2008, a Dallas judge convicted Tracy Denise Roberson of manslaughter and could face between 2 and 20 years in prison. The prosecution cited a text message sent to LaSalle from Roberson inviting him to the residence that night. The defense attempted to cite Darrell Roberson's jealousy as the motive for the killing, but called no witnesses.
The couple have 3 children. [1]
