Seems fair.
Good! She was lying through her teeth.
No doubt she killed the guy. But, I would have voted for aggravated manslaughter, with her authority as a cop an additional factor against her. From what I’ve gleaned from the news, of course, not from careful monitoring of the trial.
Here’s the proper link...

How do you walk into someone else apartment, think it’s yours and gun down a man?
What, you didn’t realize it wasn’t your furniture?
This whole thing stunk from the beginning.
The ONLY text at the article, so far.
Amber Guyger, the white Dallas cop who shot black neighbor Botham Jean when she mistook his apartment for hers, was found guilty of murder on Tuesday.
(Race ultra-important)
I have been critical of the woman, but to me murder requires malice aforethought.
I thought she would get manslaughter.
W00T!
Not a surprise. She had to know it didn’t look good for her.
They had a good judge and a representative jury and they delivered a sound decision.
Time for her official University of North Texas coffee mug!
“This whole thing stunk from the beginning.”
Based upon Big Media’s reporting?
Interesting how it’s all about race now.
Her excuse was she thought there was a burglary in progress. Police protocol is to step away and call for backup. She went in alone with guns a blazing.
Her story was unbelievable.
She thought he was an intruder.......but she was in the wrong apt.
How did she get into his apt? Did she have a key?
She didnt notice the furnishings .....and the furniture arrangements......were different?
He supposedly was eating and had just cooked something.
She didnt think it odd that her apt smelled of just-cooked food?
Second degree murder normally means no malice aforethought. It basically is doing something you know can kill someone, doing it intentionally, but without the justification needed for self-defense.
“Time for her official University of North Texas coffee mug!”
Most will not get that.
I do.
Thanks. I asked to have it corrected and re-linked.
If I remember right, she broke into the guy’s apartment and then shot him. That would qualify as Felony Murder.
I was sad then a number a conservatives made a lot of excuses for her: “She was overworked, she was tired” etc. I see no excuse for her actions. I do have a concealed carry license, if I walk into somebody else home or apartment by mistake, and I kill them, sorry, its on me. If I go to a public washroom, and if my pistol might fall out of holster, discharge, and hit a bystander, its on me. If you can’t handle that responsibility, then don’t carry.
