#1 Being this was Texas, Mr. Castillo has a good chance of remaining free; in much of the country (& world) he would be looking at hard prison time. After all, 'armed robbery is not a capital offense and he is not jury, judge & executioner.'

#2 ...that's because in "much of the country" it's not his 'property', but rather he is simply viewed as a steward of the state's property in good socialist terminology. Texans still hold that its his property. Quaint 17th-18th Century concept upon which the modern West was built.

#4 In that a rough guess for the cost of incarcerating a violent criminal is $30k/yr, not including trial, which can run upwards of $100k for each, the total savings to the taxpayer, assuming that each of the three got 20 years for just the armed robbery, not including the homicide, would be:

$2,100,000. Feel free to check my math.
