Explaining Texas Penalties for Capital Murder
Capital murder cases in Dallas are taken extremely seriously. Prosecutors will be working overtime to see that allegations against the defendant stick and that a conviction is attained.
An individual can receive capital punishment for the following:
- The murder of a police officer or fireman on duty;
- Homicide connected to a robbery, burglary, sexual assault or kidnapping;
- Multiple homicides or a victim under the age of 6.
Capital punishment may be given for capital offenses committed by minors of 17.
