And maybe that's why you did it.

So again, to answer your question a long winded way.

Could they make this a death penalty case?

Yes.

Could they increase the penalties?

Yes.

But it all goes to what they can prove about that dismemberment.

Was it done?

Why was it done?

And you may not be familiar, but there literally is a famous case in California that happened.

There was a television show about it called The Jinx with a guy by the name of Robert Durst.

It had a Texas and California tie in.

What ended up happening in that similar situation is he dismembered a body.

They were not able to prove that he killed the person, but he was able to prove that he dismembered the body.

And he got charged with the dismemberment and not the murder and didn't do a lot of time on that.

Now, people watch.

You can find out later that a lot of more information came out as a result of that.

But yes, dismembering a body and disposing of it incorrectly, if you will, is a separate charge that someone can find themselves on.

And not to be the correct professor, but if it is ruled a homicide and then the prosecutor chooses to charge with murder, there are certain things that are called special circumstances, right?

And looking in there, yes, it could increase depending on the special circumstances in California, depending on what they find.
