A Bowie County grand jury handed down a capital murder indictment Thursday for a Texas prison inmate accused of beating a guard to death July 15 at the Telford Unit in New Boston. Billy Joel Tracy, 38, faces death by lethal injection or life without the possibility of parole if found guilty of beating 47-year-old Timothy Davison to death during a routine walk from a day room to his cell. Tracy, an inmate with a long and violent criminal history, managed to slip a hand free of its cuff, grab Davison's tray slot bar and use it like a bat to pummel the public servant to death, according to the indictment. Bowie County District Attorney Jerry Rochelle said his office is carefully considering whether or not to seek the death penalty for Tracy, but a final decision on the matter is pending.
