Her version of the story indicates the door was open. Neighbor statements indicate loud knocking and shouting. Distinctive red carpeting in his apartment. Locked or not, she still entered illegally and there are no provisions in the law for singularly just “breaking” or just “entering” . Does not matter - it’s still murder and the jury was likely instructed as such.

The reality of her walking in proves the door was open when she went through it.

Distinctive red carpeting in his apartment.

What color is the carpet in her apartment, and was it well lit enough to see that it was red in his?

Locked or not, she still entered illegally and there are no provisions in the law for singularly just “breaking” or just “entering” .

I'm pretty sure everyone that accidentally walks into someone's door isn't convicted of a felony. I think if anyone attempted to bring charges for someone accidentally opening their door, the courts would toss it out.

And it's murder if there is criminal intent. Manslaughter or reckless homicide if there isn't.
