The court of criminal appeals affirmed Michael Jimenez murder conviction for brutally beating and strangling his wife to death.

In order to secure that conviction, the State called two of Mr. Jimenez past girlfriends and victims who testified that they suffered beatings and strangulation at the hands of Mr. Jimenez similar to those he inflicted on the victim in this case. The court of criminal appeals held that the state can and should present testimony from past survivors in difficult cases in order to hold those perpetrators responsible. Mr Jimenez will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
