Fugitive in husband's death appears in court (AP)

HOUSTON ? Texas prosecutors say they will have some obstacles in bringing an elderly woman to trial 40 years after she was accused of murdering her husband by dousing him with hot grease. The woman had been a fugitive since 1970 before being brought back to Texas this week.

Mary Ann Rivera made her first Houston court appearance on Friday since she was located in Georgia. The ailing 76-year-old is accused of killing her husband in October 1970.

Rivera, wearing an orange prison uniform and wheeling around an oxygen tank, had her case reset to Nov. 15.

Her attorneys say they are still reviewing her case.

Prosecutors said Rivera threw hot grease on her husband after getting angry at him. He died days later from liver problems caused by his burns.
