'Maternal Instinct' Taylor Parker Allegedly Refused To Listen to Prison Officer
New details emerge regarding Taylor Parker’s conduct on death row as a Netflix documentary fuels renewed public interest in her criminal case.
The brief
Taylor Parker, currently on death row for the killing of Reagan Hancock, has faced recent disciplinary action for allegedly refusing to follow instructions from a prison officer. Simultaneously, audio recordings from a jailhouse phone call have surfaced, documenting a conversation between Parker and her daughter regarding Christmas gifts.
Coverage from outlets including Us Weekly, TMZ, The Tab, and Yahoo emphasizes the release of these prison communications and reports of Parker's disciplinary status.
