This reminds me of the infamous Cameron Todd Willingham case which also happened in Texas around the same time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cameron_Todd_Willingham

> During the penalty phase of the trial, a prosecutor said that Willingham's tattoo of a skull and serpent fit the profile of a sociopath. Two medical experts confirmed the theory. A psychologist was asked to interpret Willingham's Iron Maiden poster. He said that a picture of a fist punching through a skull signified violence and death. He added that Willingham's Led Zeppelin poster of a fallen angel was "many times" an indicator of "cultive-type" activities.

The difference is that it is too late to exonerate Willingham since he was executed in 2004.
