The prison staff inmates will make his decisions. Give maybe 10-days behind bars

Who plays video games with an 8yr old at 2:30 in the morning? What the hell was wrong with her?

YES! Blame her! How dare she leave her door open! Why wasn't she barefoot and pregnant making me a sandwich? Why wasn't she wearing a burka?

That's what you get out of this? What is it of yours what she was doing in her house?

A horrible mistake, but still a mistake, not murder.

He killed her. Like you or I, he will get his chance to plead his case to a jury, or plea bargain with the prosecutor. If he cannot show that he was somehow justified in pulling the trigger, he will pay a price just like you or I.

It is unfortunate that race baiters will make a circus of the trial, but at least he gets a trial, unlike his victim.

The officer went into the home unannounced and then shot an unarmed woman, who did not pose a threat, to death.

He didn't even go inside. He shot her through her window, from outside her house.

I think he shot her through her window. Didnt even state that he was a cop.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was wondering when some slimeball was going to show up and go to bat for the killer by attacking the victim.

It’s enough murder to get you 99 years in a Texas prison.

No one I know of.

Anyone who does that must be sketchy.

Sketchy folks are a danger.

Dangerous people should probably be shot, even inside their houses.

/S!

C'mon, Bullish. You've been around here since '98. Are you a holster smoocher? Please do an attitude check and post again.

Texas verbiage aside, most people think of 1st degree murder,2nd, manslaughter, etc.....

in regular jargon, I think of 1st degree murder as someone planning to murder, preparing and then doing it...

I wonder if the poor 8 year old who witnessed the death of his Aunt will be called to testify? The thought of that child witnessing such horror breaks my heart.

I believe I read the Cop shot her in the face.

"with murder for a mistake"

Sorry that you cannot see what happened from the body cam.

The officer was reckless and is a danger to the public.

He chose to shoot with no legal or moral reason to do so. She was just a target.

He had the intent to kill. The fact that he thought that it was OK to kill her doesn’t negate the intent.

A horrible mistake, but still a mistake, not murder.

Writes the FReeper who doesn't feel like waiting for some facts regarding the shooting

What's next? You seem to be implying that she was doing something wrong by playing video games at 2:30 Am - in her own home.

Unbelievable.
