Violent Crimes Penalties

Capital murder is the most serious of all violent crimes in Texas and is eligible for the death penalty. This charge may apply in a number of circumstances, including taking the life of a child under the age of six; killing a judge, peace officer, or fireman while they are on duty; intentionally killing another person while committing another crime; or killing more than one person while in the commission of another criminal act. 

Manslaughter is generally charged as a second-degree felony carrying penalties of 2 to 20 years in prison. Criminally negligent homicide is generally charged as a state jail felony punishable by 180 days up to 2 years of jail time. In all cases, it is the burden of the prosecutor to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Having an experienced criminal trial lawyer who can challenge the prosecution is invaluable in these cases, which is why we urge you to engage the services of The Law Office of Jay Granberry.
