Texas Proposes 'Jocelyn's Law' to Deny Bail for Capital Murder Suspects

The legislation follows the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray by two illegal immigrants, sparking debates over immigration policies and public safety.

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick vows to pass 'Jocelyn's Law' to ensure capital murder suspects are ineligible for bail.
Jocelyn Nungaray was sexually assaulted and murdered by two Venezuelan nationals who entered the U.S. illegally.
Houston DA Kim Ogg criticizes the federal immigration system for allowing the suspects into the country.
The proposed law would also enhance penalties for the murder of children under 15, making it a death penalty-eligible offense.
Both suspects are held on $10 million bonds and face capital murder charges.
