It was a mistake to barge into the man’s apartment in the first place.
It was arguably a mistake to shoot him the first time.
It was murder to shoot him the second time.
This woman should never have been on any police force.
She got off with a light sentence given what she’s done.
From the story:
“The basic facts of the unusual shooting were not in dispute throughout the trial. Guyger, returning from a long shift that night, entered Jean’s fourth-floor apartment and shot him. He had been eating a bowl of ice cream before she fired.
Guyger said she parked on the wrong floor and mistook Jean’s apartment for her own, which was directly below his, and mistook him for a burglar. In the frantic 911 call played repeatedly during the trial, Guyger said “I thought it was my apartment” nearly 20 times. Her lawyers argued that the identical physical appearance of the apartment complex from floor to floor frequently led to tenants going to the wrong apartments.”
Nobody is perfect.
She got off with a light sentence given what she’s done.
Particularly considering that she and her married boyfriend tampered with evidence by deleting their texts.
