Is this overcharge? Meaning a better chance of guilty with a second degree? Just throwing that question out there... Discuss..

I don't remember civics class. Is it common to charge a person with first degree murder and then have a Grand Jury no bill it?

Time to burn a Wendy’s.

1st degree - why is he still walking around if they have that type of premeditated evidence? Is 1st degree different?

I believe Texas has lesser included charges, which means that the jury can find him guilty of 2nd degree even if the indictment is for first.

I don't think prosecutors want anything to do with trial. They will use this to negotiate a plea deal for a lower charge.

What do you mean?
Even people charged with 1st degree murder can get bond.

At first I was thinking, "you know how to Google, don't be lazy", then I Googled it myself and did not find anything, either, so sorry for thinking you were being lazy.

He should be held with no bond on a 1st degree murder charge. As much money as they have raised, there is no bond amount they couldn't cover.

well, looks like he was charged with first degree murder back in April, so not sure why this thread was needed

Do you think he's a threat to miss court? Commit murder again?

11 members of the jury were okay on the murder one charge, me included. The guy planned out the murder (of his aunt) and was caught several hours later with the stuff he stole and the murder weapon. One person 's conscious would not allow him to go for murder one since he might be sentencing someone to the death penalty. Three days of deliberation. First vote was 5 minutes after we were charged to render a verdict and it was 11-1. Then 3 days later it was still Murder One 11-1. So, it was either have a hung jury and retry or, as the judge had instructed, 2nd degree. He agreed to 2nd degree.
I think, had the jury foreman told the judge that the holdout was in favor of Murder 1, but could not convict because he was unable to do as he testified under oath that he could. He lied and was being disingenuous. I even did business with the man before the trial. Maybe the judge could have called him in, read to him his answer to that question and asked whether or not he lied when he said he could convict of Murder 1 with the death penalty in-play. Maybe the judge puts in an alternate and excuses that juror? We'll never know.

Is he going to carry around a knife? Then yes to the second question.
Is he on a no international flight list? I mean, his family has hundreds of thousand dollars now. He could fly away and say whitey made him do it.

What would be used in a case like this to gauge that possibility?

Well he brought a knife to a track meet and sat on the victims team bench.
Brought a weapon, looking for a fight.
I've played sports, ran and threw on the track team never did i need to bring a knife to any event.
