deaths of Lovetta Armstead, 32, and her daughter, Jazzmen Montgomery, at their home in Oak Cliff. Green’s attorneys did not file any appeals seeking to stop the execution.
In prior appeals, Green’s attorneys had claimed he was intellectually disabled and had a lifelong history of psychiatric disorders. Authorities said Green committed the killings after Armstead sought to annul their marriage. On the day of the killings, Armstead had written two letters to Green, telling him that although she loved him, she had “to do what’s best for me.” In his own letter, which was angry and rambling, Green expressed the belief Armstead and her children were involved in a plot against him.
“Told [Green] because we’re too little to die, and we won’t tell anybody about it,” Jerrett told jurors in testimony about how he convinced Green to spare their lives. Montgomery said he still has a close relationship with Armstead’s two sons. He said both lead productive lives and Jerome Armstead has a daughter who looks like Jazzmen.Related:In recent years, Montgomery and Jerome Armstead have participated in domestic violence seminars. Montgomery said he’s tried to help other people recognize the signs of domestic violence, signs he didn’t see before Lovetta Armstead and his daughter were killed.
