Today, jury selection begins at the Matagorda County Courthouse for the capital murder trial of Alex Rojas, a Palacios man accused of killing a child. In Texas, capital felony charges carry severe penalties, including the possibility of execution if convicted. Rojas also faces additional charges, such as aggravated sexual assault of a child and burglary. His criminal history dates back to 2010. The Palacios Police Department has not provided any comments on the incident. If found guilty, Rojas could face life in jail without parole if the death penalty is not pursued.
