Texas doesn’t have 2nd degree murder. If you intend to kill someone and it is not legally justifiable - ie, self-defense - then it is murder. If you murder while committing a crime, it is “capital murder”, which is more severe than “murder”. She has been convicted of the lesser murder charge. She WAS trying to severely injure or kill the man and had no valid reason for doing so. In Texas law, that is “murder”.
Not a lawyer. That comes from reading some lawyers websites about murder in Texas.
“Not a lawyer.”
Knew that from your ‘legal opininions’!
Thanks, thats why i was using some different terms, each state has unique terms so was trying to approximate /find the somewhat equivalent meaning.
