Wise County residents might remember Tim Cole. He served as assistant district attorney under Pat Morris for a number of years before being elected as the D.A. in Montague County in 1992. You may have also seen his name in the news recently due to his involvement in a capital murder prosecution.
Capital murder is as big as it gets for a prosecutor.
It is the equivalent of a million dollar injury case is to the personal injury lawyer, or a MCI - WorldCom marriage to the merger and acquisitions attorney. But when it does, it is the ultimate challenge. If a criminal case warrants the seeking of the death penalty, rest assured the facts are horrendous and the defendant is despicable. The situation warrants the maximum punishment that civilized society can administer. But the ultimate case carries with it the ultimate pressure.
