Did she break in or did she think it was her home?

She was in the apartment without the permission of the person residing there. That's breaking in.

That may,or may not,be true in the eyes of the law. But there are circumstances where it's *not* true in the eyes of reasonable,thoughtful adults.

IT MOST CERTAINLY NOT.

She was in the apartment without the permission of the person residing there. That's breaking in.

Except for the "breaking" part.

My understanding is that she put her key in the door, and the door simply pushed open, though her key wouldn't turn.

Can't call it "breaking" if no breaking took place.

The woman shot an innocent man, and she needs to go to prison, but the larger system of justice isn't served by making claims of charges that aren't supportable by the evidence.

The killing was accidental, not deliberate, and by "not deliberate" I mean with no criminal intent motivating her.
