Taylor Parker Remains on Texas Death Row Amid Appeals; Final Meal Practice Ended
Taylor Parker, convicted in 2022 for the capital murder of Reagan Simmons-Hancock and the abduction of her unborn baby in Texas, remains on death row at the Patrick L. O'Daniel Unit. Parker was sentenced to death after faking a pregnancy and removing the baby from Simmons-Hancock's womb, with the infant dying shortly after. Her appeals, including a US Supreme Court review, have failed to overturn her conviction. Execution awaits completion of habeas corpus review. Texas has discontinued offering final meals to death row inmates, a practice ended after a 2011 case.
