“It fits because of the fact she was in the process of committing a felony (violation of 30.02 - which is a state jail felony) and death occurred. She entered a habitation illegally - thus committing a felon”

How?

She walked in. Just before she shot the homeowner.

She entered a habitation illegally. You do not have to establish Mens Rea AND Actus Reus. For instance, if you enter my habitation by accident and I kill you, I have a justification defense regardless of your mens rea in this state because I may not have time to establish it.

In Texas, murder is committed if you negligently kill someone in the commission of a crime. She committed the crime when she entered his apartment without his consent. Again - it doesn't matter if it is a mistake.

And when you look at the facts of the trial - there are a lot of things here that are really not adding up. Her texts before, her violation of police protocol, her inability to notice the surroundings. LOTS. I have worked a 52-hour shift in a high-stress combat environment. I would not have made that mistake. As she readily admitted in a text she sent to her partner, as the man laid dying on the floor, she "f_cked up."

“How?”

Criminal trespass is a felony in Texas.
