A judge ordered prosecutors Friday to provide a report to David Watson about an Illinois inmate's confession to killing one of the three Watson was convicted of killing.
Jamie Donnelly A judge ordered prosecutors Friday to provide a full report to David Dwayne Watson, an ex-Tucson Fire captain found guilty in the murders of his ex-wife, her mother and her mother’s friend, about an Illinois inmate's confession to killing the ex-wife.
Banales then spoke to Bradley Roach, head of the Pima County Attorney's Conviction and Sentencing Integrity Unit, who said he and the sheriff’s homicide unit would investigate, court records say. In April 2015, Watson was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder. At his first trial in 2016, the county prosecutor, Jonathan Mosher, alleged Watson killed his wife to end a nasty custody battle over their then 4-year-old daughter, the Star reported. Mosher also said Watson assassinated Cox after she publicly blamed him for her daughter’s disappearance.
“It is imperative that defense counsel obtain all materials or reports which contain Fox’s statements in which he confesses to killing Linda Watson so that counsel can determine whether his statements are consistent, especially when it comes to his knowledge or personal facts about Linda and facts about the murder itself,” the motion said.
A year later, Watson went to trial again and was found guilty of the three murders. He was denied a new trial and sentenced to 16 years in prison for killing Linda Watson; a life sentence for killing Cox; and another life sentence for killing Farnsworth.
