HAPPENING NOW: Family members of the victims of accused serial killer Billy Chemirmir are expected to give victim impact statements on Friday morning.
The majority of Chemirmir’s alleged murders happened at senior living facilities, where prosecutors say he posed as a maintenance worker.
Chemirmir has been convicted in two of the murders: 81-year-old Lu Harris and 87-year-old Mary Brooks. In both trials it took a jury less than an hour to convict Chemirmir and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Dallas County prosecutors sought two lifetime sentences in prison, making it less likely one will be thrown out on appeal.
"Mr. Chemimir will die in the pen…that was my goal I stated it. I said we’re going to do this twice to accomplish it and here we are," Dallas County DA John Creuzot said.
