USA - Texas. A jury today sentenced Eric Williams, 47, White, to death.

A Dallas County jury today sentenced Eric Williams, 47, White, to death. Williams, a former justice of the peace, was convicted of murdering Cynthia McLelland, a prosecutor's wife in a revenge plot. Williams has also been charged with murdering District Attorney Mike McLelland, who was Cynthia McClelland's husband, and Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse. Prosecutors said Williams wanted to get back at them for obtaining a theft conviction that cost him his job and law license. Hasse was gunned down outside the Kaufman County Courthouse on Jan. 31, 2013, and the McClellands were fatally shot inside their home on March 30, 2013. Williams' estranged wife, Kim, who is also charged with capital murder and will be tried separately, told jurors on that Eric Williams began forming a mental hit list of people involved in his prosecution. She added that Cynthia McLelland was not on that list but her husband later told her he considered McLelland "collateral damage." Dallas County Judge Mike Snipes has not set a sentencing date.
