that said solution was worth him sitting in a jail cell for the rest of his life.

Assuming a jury would convict,

Texas courts may be woke but what about a Texas jury?

.........well, great question!!

My answer is after living many decades in Texas and being born here and having been a principle in 5 jury trials (environmental, business deals as a developer) that it would all depend on what county you were in.

If you were in Travis County (Austin) your chances of being convicted by a jury would be high. But, if you were in say Brewster County, I highly doubt you would ever even be indicted and you probably would get elected Mayor!

A fair summary answer is, I think, that in the vast majority of the 254 counties in Texas you would not even be indicted.
