FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- A Texas woman who caused her lover's shooting
death by falsely crying rape was convicted Friday of involuntary
manslaughter.

Tracy Denise Roberson, 37, cried a bit when the verdict was announced. The
punishment phase was set for Monday, and she faces two to 20 years in
prison.

In late 2006, Darrell Roberson came home from a late-night card game to find
his scantily clad wife with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway.
Tracy Roberson was with her lover but cried rape, and her husband fired four
shots into the truck as Devin LaSalle drove off, killing him.

Darrell Roberson initially was arrested, but a murder charge was later
dropped and a grand jury indicted Tracy Roberson instead.

During her three-day trial, defense attorneys called no witnesses but blamed
LaSalle's death on Darrell Roberson's jealousy and rage.

But prosecutors placed all the blame on Tracy Roberson, showing evidence of
the affair with LaSalle, 32, and a text message in which she invited him to
her house that evening
