TYLER — Dameon Mosley was convicted of capital murder on Wednesday. Friday marks the 3rd day of the sentencing phase as prosecutors seek the death penalty for the murder of Billy Stacks. According to our news partner KETK, jurors deliberated just under 90 minutes before handing down the guilty verdict. Now jurors will decide if Mosley will be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison. The punishment component of the trial could last several days as prosecutors intend to call numerous witnesses and investigators to testify, and Mosley’s defense will present character witnesses.
Under Texas law, the jury must unanimously agree to sentence Mosley to death for him to be put on death row. If they cannot all come to an agreement, Mosley will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. Mosley shot and killed Billy Stacks, 62, back on January 28, 2017, when he robbed the Conoco gas station on the northeast side of Loop 323 near HWY 271.
