Just when you think that people cannot do anything immorally extreme and beyond what we constantly see and read about, I come across this appalling story. A pastor (Rev. Tracy Burleson, 44), his son (Darnell Fuller, 20) and their shared mistress (Tyonne Palmer, 31) are accused of conspiring and successfully murdering Pauletta Burleson, 56, (wife of the pastor) in the pastor's home at northeast Harris County, near Houston, Texas.

Darnell Fuller testified Tuesday, 27 September against his father, Burleson, and former friend/lover, Palmer, in a hearing against his father and narrated how he was convinced and manipulated into shooting and killing his abusive stepmother in the back of her head execution style. Fuller narrated episodes of physical and mental abuse that he suffered under both his parents for years and how his father forced him to eventually kill his stepmother so that he (his father) could marry Fuller's off and on lover and his father's mistress, Ms. Palmer.

Palmer is accused of aiding and abetting in the conspiracy as she allegedly picked Fuller up after the murder and tried to help in disposing the murder weapon. The trial is on-going but all I can say is it stinks to hell in every direction.

Fuller gets a lesser conviction for his cooperation with the District Attorney's office as his father is also being accused of previously burning down his own church for insurance benefits.
