How drunk was she?

I don't recall all the facts of the case, but I've tried to use my hotel keycard in the wrong room on a couple of occasions and can tell you that when you're convinced that you're in front of your own room, you first thought isn't 'gee, maybe I'm in the wrong place.' It's more like, 'why isn't my key working?'

So I can see how her explanation is entirely plausible, especially considering the recorded 911 call.

I have been in sterile cookie-cutter apt complexes that if you’re not paying attention you can easily walk up to the wrong door.

Think there might be a big difference between a hotel door and one’s own apartment to which one returns to at least once a day.

My connection is impaired so search for “Botham Jean apartment door”...tons of photos showing the very bright red welcome mat at his door. Her apartment has/had nothing. Additionally, the door locks are key pad type.

She’s also said the door was ajar...all the apartment doors are self closing latching as rated fire doors.

Her story has more holes than Plugs Biden’s scalp.

The door was ajar.

Yea, but this wasn't a hotel room that you're not used to. This was where she lived, where she sleeps every night, where she cooks and cleans and does life. Yet she didn't notice the odd welcome mat in front of the door, didn' t notice someone rearranged her furniture, didn't notice it didn't smell like her place...? You'd have to be really drunk to not notice all of that and wonder why you weren't home.

So I can see how her explanation is entirely plausible, especially considering the recorded 911 call.

Which was after she shot him, in his own apartment. Anyone, especially a cop, is going to go into immediate cover-your-ass mode after a situation like that. Why didn't she call 911 when she first noticed 'her' door was ajar? If she was robbed or something, isn't she trained to request backup before entering potentially hostile areas? Not disturb possible evidence?
