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.

Perfect analysis.

You're exactly right.

Depending on where they're going to go, a good prosecutor will use that.

Was it done?

Why was it done?

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

They will say that the murder is the intentional killing, the premeditated intentional killing of another with malice of forethought.

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

That means you had to say exactly, is it the level of planning and preparation that went forth?

It had a Texas and California tie in.

let's say for argument's sake, the person who finds themselves accused of this charge gets on the stand and says, this was an awful accident.

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.

I didn't mean this happened because that's what happened in the Robert Durst case.

This was an awful accident and I panicked and then I severed and took care of the body and took it over.
