Linda Anita Carty (born 5 October 1958) is a Kittitian-American[a] former schoolteacher who is on death row in Texas. In February 2002, she was sentenced to death for the abduction and murder in 2001 of 20-year-old Joana Rodriguez in order to steal Rodriguez's newborn son.[3][4] Carty claimed she was framed by her co-defendants who were drug dealers[5] because she had previously been an informant.

Carty has appealed her conviction,[6][7][8] with her most recent petition to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari being denied by the Supreme Court on November 13, 2018.[9][10][11]
