Convicted murderer Diane Zamora can marry a man who is serving time at another Texas prison, a Bexar County official said. The county clerk's office mailed 25-year-old Zamora and her prospective groom, 27-year-old Steven Mora, a marriage certificate application May 22. If the application is accepted, both inmates would marry stand-ins in separate ceremonies, officials said. The two prisoners wrote the county clerk office earlier this year asking for permission to get a marriage license. County Clerk Gerry Rickhoff said he had never dealt with such a request before now. 'This is the first time this office has had a request like this from two people in prison, one serving a life sentence,' Rickhoff said. The county clerk office got legal approval from Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott. Zamora and her ex-boyfriend David Graham, a former cadet at the Air Force Academy, were convicted of capital murder for their role in the 1995 slaying of 16-year-old Adrianne Jones. Both are serving life terms. Zamora is at the Mountain View Unit near Gatesville and won't be eligible for parole until 2036. Her fiance, Steven Mora, of San Antonio, is serving a four-year sentence for threatening someone involved in one of his previous cases for theft, auto theft and arson. He's housed at the Ramsey Unit near Houston. Mora is expected to be eligible for release in March. |
