## Resource

Jurors in Fort Worth watched interrogation videos during the punishment phase of Tanner Horner's capital murder case, where investigators said he gave multiple conflicting versions of what happened to 7-year-old Athena Strand. The jury also saw footage where Horner referred to an alter ego called "Zero," while Texas Ranger Job Espinoza testified that much of Horner's story did not match the evidence. After Horner's guilty plea on April 7, 2026, the same jury must now decide between the death penalty and life without parole. This video breaks down the interrogation footage, the "Zero" claims, the key testimony from Ranger Espinoza, and what this could mean in the sentencing phase. As of April 9, 2026, no punishment verdict had been reached. #TannerHorner #AthenaStrand #TrueCrime #CourtroomUpdate #CrimeNews #BreakingNews #TexasCrime #Interrogation #JuryTrial #Sentencing
