In Illinois, if you are charged with murder, you are first processed into the county jail. You then face a judge within 72 hours and bail will be set, unless, of course, no bail is set - which happens alot with murder charges. During that appearance, the inmate is set more court dates and is held in the local county or city jail. Inmates charged with murder will be housed in the county jail that the crime was committed in until a sentence is handed down. In Illinois, the time in county jail for a murder charge ranges from 9 months to 2-1/2 years. After the sentence is handed down by a circuit court judge, it then takes the Illinois Department of Corrections about 5-10 days to pick the inmate up from the jail and transport him to a maximum security prison, where he will first go through Reception and Classification, and then will be assigned a prison that fits his security needs.

I would have to guess Steven Segal.
If that person dies due to the injuries cause from the attempted murder then you can be charged with murder. But if you are convicted of attempted murder prior to that, double jeopardy would prevent you from being convicted of murder

Certainly. Especially, if the Attempted Murder case is part and parcel of the murder charge that they are facing.
The person would never be transferred to another state. They would serve their sentence in the state that convicted them.
no
Yes the person can. The person convicted of the first murder is sentenced to jail time then that murder is done with. If while incarcerated and another murder is occurred then the subject will be go to trial for murder again but not the same person. You are thinking of double jeopardy. This only occurs after someone is tried and found not guilty. At that point the subject can run outside and say he did it with out being able to be tried again.
If convicted of capital murder in Texas, and they do not receive the death penalty then it will be life without parole.

The fourteen year old boy wrongly convicted of murder in 1959 and sentenced to be hanged was George Junius Stinney Jr. He was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the US in the 20th century.

No one knows what decision a jury will render after hearing the facts. If the state can prove that your intent was to murder or cause "great bodily harm" to the person, it is possible that you could be convicted.
