A stay in the case State of Texas v. Robert Allen Satterfield, to be tried in District Court of Wharton County, was imposed Friday by the 13th Court of Appeals in Corpus Christi to give the defense team time to obtain additional DNA and ballistics testing. Satterfield is accused of murdering an Angleton couple and their 5-year-old child in 2018. The trial was supposed to have gotten under way Dec. 2, but was postponed until Monday at 9 a.m. Satterfield faces the death penalty if convicted.
