Episode Details

A Williamson County jury in Texas begins arguments in the murder trial of Kreli Haynes, accused of selling fentanyl that killed a 16-year-old student, Zarek McMeekin. The case hinges on a 2023 Texas law that allows prosecutors to charge fentanyl dealers with murder if their drugs cause a death. Zareks mother advocates for justice, and advocates stress the importance of discussing fentanyl risks at home. Hayness lawyer argues the law is tough and notes his clients clean record. Opening statements start at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Williamson County Courthouse in Georgetown.
