AppId is over the quota
The lawyer for a Waller man accused of killing his family said Friday he expects his client to waive arraignment and enter a not-guilty plea.
Frank Blazek,a court-appointed defense lawyer from Huntsville, said he recently visited with his client, Trey Sesler, who is being held at the Waller County Jail.
"He's very young, and you know, obviously, this is a very sorrowful tragedy, and he recognizes the degree of the tragedy," Blazek said.
Sesler, 22, is charged with capital murder in the deaths of his parents, Lawton Ray Sesler Jr., 58, and Rhonda Wyse Sesler, 57, and first-degree murder in the death of his older brother, Mark Alan Sesler, 26. The three were found shot to death March 20 at the family's ranch-style home in the 1600 block of Farr, in Waller.
A funeral service for all three was Wednesday at Canon Funeral Home in Waller. Another service for Trey Sesler's grandfather will be Saturday at the same funeral home. Lawton Ray Sesler Sr., 88, succumbed to a long illness on March 23, just days after the shootings.
Blazek said he is not prepared to go into detail about his conversation with his client, or respond to police allegations that Sesler had planned to carry out a mass public shooting.
"I would say he's got a very complex personality that I have to get to know better, and, at this point, just like in any criminal case, he's entitled to presumption of innocence," Blazek said.
He said he expected a grand jury to hear the case next week.
