Just great. He will probably do 10 years, then be released in his late 20s with the accumulated knowledge of a generation of career criminals, only to terrorize or murder someone else because he will not have learned to control the impulses of his hindbrain.
So what exactly is capital murder? To be charged with capital murder in Texas, it must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant intentionally or knowingly caused the death of another who was acting under lawful duty, or that the victim was under the age of 10.
It will be murder or manslaughter. He'll get 10 years do to his age.
RE: But Won’t Face Death Penalty.
The death penalty is reserved for innocent victims of the criminals.
I’m cynical, but right.
17 criminals executed in the US since 2020.
As of January 1, 2024, there were 2,244 individuals on death row in the United States.
262,083,034 adults in the US population in 2025.
