Here in Texas we don’t care about what you think or our semantics according to you what we do have letters of law and here in my great state we don’t care about degrees of murder as we don’t have them at all we have murder which carries 5 to 99 and we have capital murder which carries life to the death penalty the only difference is depraved mind. Murder is the willful action that causes death of a person period end of story we don’t care if you thought about it for a year or not at all that’s our law don’t live here if you don’t like it. Shooting someone here in Texas by purposely point the gun at them and pulling the trigger is willful by definition and as such the ONLY way anyone cops or not can point and shoot is if it is a justified shooting and wr have legal definition of that as well. This cop now has to prove to a jury without doubt that his shooting was justified or he will get 5 to 99 as required by our laws we don’t care about what others think about degrees or historical precedence we have our laws they are clear and well documented.
What’s the deal with bond in Texas? 200,000 seems real low for a murder rap. Does posting 10% spring him like a lot of other states?
