An inmate accused of beating a correctional officer to death in July 2015 at the Telford Unit in New Boston, Texas, is asking for a new lawyer. Billy Joel Tracy, 39, is charged with capital murder in the death of Correctional Officer Timothy Davison. Tracy allegedly freed a hand of its cuff as Davison walked him from a day room back to an administrative segregation cell. Tracy is accused of knocking Davison to the floor, grabbing his metal tray slot bar, and using it to pummel Davison, who died hours later of massive blunt force injuries at a local hospital. The Bowie County District Attorney’s Office is seeking the death penalty for Tracy, who has a long history of violence in prison since he was assessed a life term by a jury in Rockwall County for assaults on a teen girl and a police officer. Since then Tracy has been a constant disciplinary problem, has repeatedly tried to escape, and has been sentenced to additional 10-year and 45-year terms for assaults on correctional officers.
