A Rowlett man has been sentenced to the maximum punishment after pleading guilty in connection with the February 2019 homicides of two people in Royse City.
Calvin Earl Rayford, 20, had previously pleaded not guilty to a charge of capital murder of multiple persons, but offered the open plea of guilty in August 2020 to a reduced charge of manslaughter and agreed to testify against Dearis Rayvone Davis of Arlington, who is charged with capital murder in the case.
An open plea means no plea bargain agreement has been arranged in the case and that Rayford is subject to the full range of punishment.
