Her son was murdered for no good reason. She can react anyway she wants to in my opinion.

An often repeated situation. Being too small to be a police officer.

This whole thing stunk from the beginning.

For this to stink, it would require a motive on her part. Tell me, what was the motive for her to murder this guy? What motive did the court/jury find?

I have sat on a jury before. Defense has a say to the jurors as well.

What's seriously broken is half the cops who fail the psych eval are hired anyway.

This is easily remedied.

Any hiring manager who recklessly disregards a failed psych eval should be held PERSONALLY liable for any damage the psychotic or sociopathic cop does. The taxpayers don't pay, the person who hired them pays full restitution out of their own pocket.

Hiring a person who "has really strong sadistic tendencies and fantasies of rape and murder", giving them a badge and gun and authority over any woman driving a car is no less dangerous that throwing an enraged rattlesnake into a kindergarten.

That would be your opinion.

I think she did enter the wrong apartment and thought there was an intruder. No one wants to say these things today but she was all of 5’1” and weighed 120 pounds. Way too small in my opinion to be a police officer. She used her only equalizer at her disposal to quell a threat.

I can see, smell and hear.

I’m never going to walk into the wrong house.

She is a murderer and the very representative Dallas jury did the right thing.

From what I've seen reported, she went back out into the hall, got on her phone, and started babbling to the dispatcher instead of rendering assistance to the guy she just shot.

That itself would seem to mitigate against any claim about the "involuntary" nature of what she had done.

Taking an innocent life BY MISTAKE. I doubt her intention was even to “kill” but definitely disable. (I’ll state no, I have not followed this so am still making many assumptions from the little that came out last year.) Lots of people kill others unintentionally - and others do indeed still play the blame game and make those accidental killers lives’ hell beyond what it needs to be

If I may ask three things, sir.

1) Even if it was 100% a mistake, does that take away the fact that she still KILLED a human being who had done nothing wrong? To the victim’s family - and he was a victim - it doesn’t matter if she killed him by mistake, or it was first degree murder, or it was an affair turned rancid, or she thought he was a werewolf. Bottom line - he died. The pain to them is the same - it may even be worse considering it was a ‘mistake.’ If he was a criminal who died in a hail of bullets robbing a bank it may be more palatable than what happened there.

2) Would you be as understanding of someone taking an innocent life by mistake if that innocent life was one of your family members?

3) I am assuming you’re not a law enforcement officer, and with that assumption let’s say you - as a non LEO - walked into someone’s home and shot them by mistake. How do you think your case would be handled? Do you think you’d get the benefit of a doubt?

Anyway, bottom line someone died who shouldn’t have. As the other postwr said, there are MANY people I’d feel sad for before I feel sorry for that cop.

Just to play devil’s advocate, if you don’t believe her story that she thought she was in her own apartment, you’ve got to be prepared to believe that she deliberately went into the apartment with the purpose of committing murder. Now, that might be, but I don’t think it was ever brought into evidence, probably because there was no evidence for it.

The majority of blacks on the jury must have decided to stick it to the white woman cop.

If so, they wouldn't be the only ones.

I seriously believe that she will win on appeal; but we shall see.

For sure she had no business being a police office and there is no telling what else she may have done as you said.

That guy actually testified that he believed NO CRIME had been committed.

Pardon my French, but in light of his testimony I'd say this jury verdict is a giant "F#%& You!" to the Texas Rangers -- and rightly so.

From the videos of the police officer at the crime scene and her testimony. She was too fragile and small to be a police officer. She used the only equalizer at her disposal to quell a supposed threat from an unarmed larger man. She did not try to help the dying victim. She paced outside the apartment in the hallway crying talking on her phone to her boyfriend. Mean while the innocent victim lay dying in his home by himself in the dark. In a real stressful situation which she created she acted selfishly. A real problem in many young women today, I’m afraid.

Apparently "motive" isn't a necessary element of a murder conviction in Texas. Intent is ... and it was obvious to everyone that she intended to shoot him.
