Capital Murder Legal Services
There is no case quite like capital murder. In Texas, a conviction can lead to only two possible sentences - execution or life without parole. David Michael Ryan is qualified under the rules promulgated in southeast Texas to represent persons indicted for capital murder.
At this writing, David Michael Ryan & Associates has been involved in 7 capital murder cases. None of our clients has ever received a death sentence.
Please see State of Texas v. Billy Ray Hill (under Cases on this site). Briefly, Mr. Hill was David Michael Ryan's client and charged with the capital murder of a 4 year old child. On the day jury selection began for the trial, the State of Texas elected to pursue the case as a First Degree Felony for Injury to a Child. David Michael Ryan secured an acquittal - the jury found Mr. Hill not guilty - of the child's injuries and subsequent death after a two week trial.
