Appellant was married to the complainant, Joe Sturdivant, known as “Big Joe,” for approximately forty years. They lived in Robinson, Texas, which is located near Waco,and operated a transmission-repair business, Sturdivant Transmission, together.

In summer of 2007, over a year before the murder of Big Joe, appellant approached Ali Ali Abdula Muhammad (“Doc Muhammad”), a long-time family friend, “about doing harm to [Big Joe].” Appellant told Doc Muhammad that she was “tired of” Big Joe, that he was “so bad” to her, and that she was “[t]ired of getting beat up.” She kept telling Doc Muhammad that she wanted Big Joe killed. Doc Muhammad refused to kill Big Joe, but he had no objection to “whoop [ing] his ass.” Doc Muhammad had financial difficulties, and he testified that appellant told him that if he could “slow [Big Joe's] ass down just a little bit,” she would pay his delinquent taxes.

Doc Muhammad agreed to this plan, and he enlisted another man, Chris Chatman, to “knock [Big Joe] out.” Doc Muhammad spoke with appellant by phone early in the morning on September 27, 2007. She told him that she “had enough” and that Big Joe's abuse of her “went too far.” She told Doc Muhammad that she was going to leave the door to the house open and that she was going to put up their noisy dogs so they would not wake Big Joe. She told Doc Muhammad where in the house Big Joe slept so he could pass that information on to Chatman.
