    Texas sucks, but I was just on a jury selection for an injury to a child case, and at least they have their ducks in a row when it comes to that particular law. Maximum penalty is 99 years with or without parole.

    Adding attempted capital murder, if the facts of the case are as they’re reported, this lady is fucked.

      Yes, and even the powers that be in Texas and Tarrant County will want to fend off (perfectly valid) claims of stochastic terrorism by throwing the book at her. This woman’s actions were horrifying.
