he will get out in 20 years or so
His "mistakes" was the murder of another teenager. He'll be charged as an adult, and he's in Texas is he not? Texas doesn't play.
Not so sure on that. Word is he has been fitted for a shank by some folks who tend to run a lot of what happens in prison. He might be somebody's trophy.
Nor does the Aryan Brotherhood I hear tell.....
I'm certain another group will take him in. I just don't think he'll be out in just 20 short years.
adult 2nd degree in texas. 15 years is the minimum. It would not surprise me if he serves the minimum
He was indicted for 1st Degree murder.
a good lawyer would get him off on that high of a charge. I see no premeditation
Premeditation can be only 1 second, taking time to reach into a bag to grab a knife is enough. A "good lawyer" will get him to plea out and he might possibly get 2nd degree and 20 years to life. I do not think he'll be getting the minimum. That's reserved for when you have a crappy case.
Naww he will get 15-20 years IMHO
Yes there was premeditation the moment he retrieved the knife out of his bag.
bwahahahaha
More like 30 to 40, maybe. This is Texas and they don't give out weak assed sentences for murder like say, California does.
bwahahahaha
tldrbwahahahaha
In Texas, premeditation, in the context of criminal law, refers to the planning and deliberation that occurs before the commission of a crime, specifically murder. It implies that the defendant had a conscious decision and intent to kill before carrying out the act.
I don't know many people that can stab someone in the heart and then expect them not to die.
Getting a knife out of a zipped gym bag then plunging into another person heart shows intent to kill. My step grandfather was killed by his nephew by stabbing. The nephew was charged and convicted with intentional homicide
In Texas murder requires intent.
Murder: This occurs when someone intentionally or knowingly causes the death of another person, or when they commit an act clearly dangerous to human life that results in death. It can also be charged if someone dies while another felony is being committed.
Premeditation, on the other hand, implies prior planning and deliberation before the act is committed. It suggests that the person had a deliberate intention and took steps to carry out the act.
Anthony unzipped his gym bag took out a knife and plunged it into the other kids' heart. Anthony intended to kill Austin and took steps to do it. That is the reason the DA and grand jury charged Anthony with murder instead of man slaughter, you moron.
