FORT WORTH — After spending almost 22 years on the bench, U.S. District Judge Terry Means is still haunted by the brutal abduction and murder of Arlington teenager Lisa Rene, a case that resulted in her assailants being sentenced to death.
Rene, a Lamar High School honors student, was abducted by Arkansas drug dealers from her sister’s apartment in September of 1994 to avenge a $5,000 theft by her brothers. She was raped before being bludgeoned with a shovel and buried alive in a shallow grave.
