Episode Details

Shane James, accused of a brutal string of killings across San Antonio and Austin, is set to stand trial starting October 29th — after being declared legally competent again just months ago. Facing charges including capital murder and assault, he’s entered a not guilty plea. Prosecutors have dropped the death penalty, and the trial is expected to wrap in just three weeks. The case took a dramatic turn when he was briefly ruled incompetent in 2024, but that was overturned in 2025 — setting the stage for a high-stakes courtroom showdown.
