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.
