Rapp’s boyfriend said Medina accelerated backward before striking Rapp, causing her to hit her head on the rear window.
Medina, of Navasota, has a lengthy rap sheet and has been booked into the Brazos County Jail 13 times since 2012, according to online jail records obtained by KBTX.

If you kill someone in a random act of passion in a bar, it’s manslaughter. But just the short time to go and grab a weapon is enough time to meet the standard of premeditation. All that matters is you have a brief moment to think about it.
