What is a capital murder charge?
A capital murder conviction can bring life in prison without the possibility
of parole or the death penalty in Texas. You will need a robust defense
to have your charges thrown out or reduced.
For a capital case, the prosecution will need to prove that you intentionally:
Murdered a peace officer or fireman in the line of duty
Committed murder while committing another felony such as kidnapping or burglary
Committed murder for hire
Murdered multiple people during the same crime
Murdered someone under the age of six
If you have been accused, refrain from speaking to anyone other than your
lawyer about the case. Police will attempt to elicit a confession from
you and you have a right to speak with an attorney and also have one present
to advise you during questioning.
The Defense You Need for Serious Charges
You are not without legal defenses to your accusations. A common counter
to murder charges is that you were acting in self-defense or to protect
another person. Your Fort Worth murder attorney will need to prove that
you were so threatened that taking the life of your attacker was your
only recourse.
It may have been the case that you lacked any intent to end a life, but
the death was entirely accidental. You may not be able to face murder
charges in such a case. No matter what the details of your case are, you
