Nestor Hernandez faces a life sentence without the possibility of parole for capital murder charges.
The capital murder trial of the convicted felon accused of shooting two hospital workers at Methodist Dallas is expected to begin on Monday.Jacqueline Pokuaa, a social worker and Annette Flowers, a nurse, were both killed.
Dallas Police said once he was in the room with her, he became angry and accused his girlfriend of cheating on him – and began hitting her with a pistol he brought into the hospital. But he also had prior parole violations, including cutting off his ankle monitor just months before the shooting. He was still able to get permission to visit his girlfriend at the hospital despite this.
Under the law, parolees and people out on bond will face a felony charge if they knowingly remove or disable their ankle monitor. Previously, messing with an ankle monitor was just an administration violation and not a criminal offense.
