“This is just an attempt to portray her as a bad person....”
1. Had an affair with a married man
2. Barges into a home that is not her own.
3. Murders a man in cold blood.
4. Rather than attempting first aid, she sexts her married boyfriend
5. States that she is a racist.
Not sure if the state can portray her as a bad person.
Has nothing to do with her crime.
2. Barges into a home that is not her own.
Thought it was her own home. This is called a "mistake."
3. Murders a man in cold blood.
Isn't murder if there is no criminal intent. Is manslaughter.
4. Rather than attempting first aid, she sexts her married boyfriend
Cannot do any meaningful first aid on a man who's heart has been pierced by a bullet. You have to be some sort of idiot to think pumping up and down on a man's shot heart is going to do him any good. All it will do is speed up exsanguination. (blood loss)
5. States that she is a racist.
Has nothing to do with the actual crime of shooting a man accidentally because you thought he was in your apartment.
Not sure if the state can portray her as a bad person.
The state should confine their arguments to facts that are actually germane to the crime, not drag up crap that has nothing to do with the actual offense she committed.
Punishing people for "wrong think" is an extremely dangerous thing to do, because we shall all be guilty of "wrong think" at some point in the future.
