A North Texas jury has sentenced former Kaufman County Justice of the Peace Eric Williams to death for the murder of the wife of the county’s district attorney.

Williams was convicted by the same jury nearly two weeks ago for the murder of Cynthia McLelland, who was gunned-down along with her husband Mike in their Dallas-area home.

Williams has also been charged with Mike McLelland’s murder as well as the murder of assistant prosecutor Mark Hasse.

Authorities say Williams shot and killed Hasse outside the Kaufman County courthouse in January of 2013 then killed the McLellands in their home two months later.

Williams had lost his J.P. position and his law license after McLelland and Hasse prosecuted him on theft and burglary charges.
