Prosecutors seeking death penalty against former JP in Kaufman County prosecutor slayings
Eric and Kim Williams remain in the Kaufman County Jail on multimillion-dollar bonds.
Prosecutors announced today that they will seek the death penalty against a former justice of the peace who is accused in the revenge-driven killings of the Kaufman County district attorney, his wife and a top assistant.
Special prosecutors Toby Shook and Bill Wirskye made the announcement during a court hearing this morning before Dallas County District Judge Michael Snipes, who was appointed to preside over the capital murder cases against Eric and Kim Williams.
Wirskye said they have not decided whether to seek the death penalty against Kim Williams.
We anticipate making that decision at the appropriate time, he said.
