DALLAS — Accused serial killer Billy Chemirmir hunted and killed elderly women, stole their jewelry and sold it to make his living, Dallas County prosecutors told jurors Friday, the last day of Chemirmir’s capital murder trial.
The jury agreed, taking less than 30 minutes to find Chemirmir guilty.
Hushed cries rippled through the courtroom as State District Judge Raquel “Rocky” Jones read the jury’s verdict finding him guilty of killing 87-year-old Mary Brooks in 2018. Ann Brooks, Brooks’ oldest daughter who testified in the trial, reached for a relative’s hand.
