Texas Man Sentenced For Cannibalizing Mother
Cala Gets 30 Years For Crime
POSTED: 9:42 p.m. EST January 8, 2003
FORT WORTH, Texas -- A Texas man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for beating his mother to death and eating some of her heart. Joey Cala pleaded guilty Monday to the 2001 murder of Lydia Cala, a retired teacher and church volunteer. According to the defendant's sister, he had wanted inheritance money. But there was no indication the inheritance amounted to much.
Cala's lawyer had been planning an insanity defense before reaching an agreement to prevent a life sentence. A coroner testified that Cala beat his mother to death, probably with his fists or feet, cut her open and removed some organs. Police found him covered in blood and apparently eating an organ. According to police, he said they were interrupting his sacrifice to the devil. His mother's will was found on a chair.
