I have no problem with it either, at least not in this case. Kimberly McCarthy not only killed her 70-year-old neighbor, she also cut off her victim’s fingers to steal her rings.
And back in 1988 she was indicted for the brutal murders of an elderly couple in the 80’s. Apparently she was never tried for those murders.
Amen. That mad dog should have been put down YEARS ago. Regardless of what the rest of the country thinks, this native Texan thinks the pace of executions in Texas is not fast enough. These criminals are sentenced to death and spend decades sitting on Death Row. They have the ability to see their families and loved ones. The same cannot be said for their victims.
As far as the other two murders for which she was not tried, this is a tactic used frequently by DA’s in Texas, probably elsewhere the death penalty is applied. Attempt to get a capital murder conviction on a single crime, but hold out other capital crimes in case the first case gets tossed on a technicality. I like the fact the Texas DA’s play for keeps.
