Marc Jamison Woodcock, 45, of Waxahachie, was sentenced to the maximum of 20 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice by Judge Carter Tarrance on January 26 after a punishment hearing in the 392nd District Court.
Woodcock plead guilty to assaulting his wife in July 2013 and opted to have the court assess his punishment. Woodcock was indicted by a Henderson County Grand Jury last year after police were dispatched to his home after his wife, Karen Woodcock, went to a neighbor’s home asking for help. When the neighbor answered the door, Ms. Woodcock was badly beaten, bleeding and covered in bruises. She had also been strangled around the neck. Ms. Woodcock was taken to the hospital and released later that night.
During the punishment hearing, which was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Jenny Huckle and Danny Cox of Scott McKee’s District Attorney’s office, the court heard testimony that while out on bond for assaulting his wife, Woodcock attacked his wife again in Ellis County, hitting her in the face and shoving dog feces down her throat.
