Amber Guyer guilty of murder, Just announced on FOX News
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Perhaps she's lactose intolerant.
She broke Texas law in entering a premise without consent, proceeded to double-tap and murder a person who was minding his own business and get this, in his own dwelling place too; that is not manslaughter in any State.
Just my personal opinion, but I think it goes to her “state of mind” that she was texting and calling her married cop boyfriend. Shows that she didn’t have her mind in focus and it was wandering other places.
Botham Jean's life was taken by the feminist movement and the women's rights movement. They have cursed our society with women in positions of power and responsibility they genetically cannot handle. All in the name of some perverse conception of equality. We are sitting ducks as a result of the political mental illnesses our elected officials seem to become afflicted with once they reach the halls of power. Our military is still at it. But those chickens have yet to come home to roost.
The article didn't say but the charge was increased to murder by the grand jury. From the article:
"Guyger, a four-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, initially was charged with manslaughter. Two months later, a grand jury indicted her on a murder charge."
DIRECT QUOTE from trial:
Prosecutor Jason Hermus: “When you pulled that trigger you intend to kill Mr. Jean?”Amber: “He was the threat, yes sir.”
Recklessness is defined in the State of Texas under murder so a moot point especially when she was already in the process of criminally trespassing.
“So a home invader can shoot you and it’s only manslaughter?”
That appears to be a common view.
Break into a house, shoot the homeowner and just say, “I walked into the wrong house!”
The police should just tell you to go about your day.
Yes
I did not follow the trial admittedly
It took no time to convict
I had figured voluntary manslsughter with enhancement
But I was wrong
DIRECT QUOTE from trial:
Prosecutor Jason Hermus: “When you pulled that trigger you intend to kill Mr. Jean?”
Amber: “He was the threat, yes sir.”
Case closed. GUILTY.
I thought that as well but I read up on Texas murder and manslaughter statutes
You only have to prove intent for a simple murder conviction which carries five to ninety nine years
She said verbatim she shot him to kill him
It’s just bizarre
She must have been scared or a crazy bitch or both
I completely agree.
We’ll see. It was manslaughter. She didn’t wake up in the morning and say to herself, “I am going to kill that guy that lives right above me”.
4th Amendment surely covers eating ice cream in your own domicile without getting gunned down by a uniformed police officer without warning.
But, then again, qualified immunity, and no reasonable state actor would KNOW it would've been a violation, since there hasn't been any prior cases to create a "clearly established" precedent, amirite?
/wink, nudge to all the JBTs and boot-lickers out there>
The best way to pierce "qualified immunity" is this.
Would you let a non-policeman / non-bureaucrat get away with it?
My bet is an appellate courts will restore sanity here.
In the dark, she must have misread that as "BANG and Jury"
I would think the MARRIED status of her love interest explains her motivation for acting irrationally, hiding evidence, and generally just lying from start to finish.
Texas only has designations for manslaughter with regard to intoxication manslaughter and just manslaughter, only degrees of recklessness which is also defined as murder in certain situations (Like the original topic). She was intending to cause bodily harm, cut and dry if you ask me.
Thanks for the info. More info from a different source.

From the article:
“A Dallas County grand jury charged Guyger with murder last winter because she shot Jean on purpose. In Texas, someone commits manslaughter when they “recklessly cause the death of another individual.” If Guyger had shot through the door and inadvertently hit Jean, for instance, she might be on trial for manslaughter, according to legal experts.”
