T. Cullen Davis, a Texas oil tycoon acquitted in a 1970s murder trial, has died at 93
T. Cullen Davis, a prominent Texas oil tycoon, passed away at the age of 93 in Fort Worth, his son Trey Davis announced on Monday. Davis, who always maintained his innocence, was acquitted of murder in a 1970s shooting at his secluded Fort Worth mansion. The incident, which also resulted in the deaths of two others, was dramatized in true-crime shows and television miniseries.
Davis was later charged with solicitation of capital murder, but was acquitted again in 1978. Despite his wealth and legal troubles, he was described by his son as a man of virtue, integrity, grit, and humility.
