Yes, conspiracy to commit murder is against the law. But this guy did not commit murder, and it was perfectly legal, under section 9.43 for him to kill those burglars. So what crime was he conspiring to commit? Killing two burglars? Apparently, in Texas, conspiracy to kill two burglars is not as crime. Conspiracy to commit murder is.
Do you understand why he has not been indicted? Because the DA for that area of Texas knows he will lose, and one thing I know about DA's is they do not try cases that they know they cannot win.
