I used to live in Texas, and it is my understanding that the death penalty is only imposed for Capitol Murder, i.e. murder occuring during the commission of another crime, or murder of more than one person.

Could that include driving while impaired? She's already admitted that.

No, that's not one of the other crimes that will make this capital murder.

IMO, their best bet is to add kinapping (which is exactly what she did) - that will make it capital murder.

That probably does not qualify, but ask a Texan. I'm an Ex.
