Shooting the man because you didn't expend enough thought to determine if he was a threat, is a crime. The rest is not a crime.
Someone needlessly died and the lady cop was at fault at every step of the incident.
Firing the gun at him was the only step for which she has committed an actual crime. Accidentally walking into a wrong door is not a crime.
The man was innocent and doing no harm to anyone and in his own home. He has no fault in this.
Agree. Absolutely. The woman is completely to blame for shooting an innocent man, and she deserves to go to prison for her mistake.
But let us be clear, what she did was a "mistake". There was no criminal intent to kill that man.
“There was no criminal intent to kill that man.“
Amber said she pulled the trigger with the intent to kill.
She said that on the stand.
She did not have to take the stand.
She is responsible for her own incompetence.
“But let us be clear, what she did was a “mistake”. There was no criminal intent to kill that man”.
She entered the mans apartment without his permission or an invitation, she admits the door was closed.
That is a crime called trespassing. Her intent does not mean she did not commit this crime. SO, she committed a crime before she pulled the trigger.
Lets go on.
There was a big red doormat outside of this man’s door that was not in front of her apartment, the furniture was not nearly the same as in her apartment. Nothing of anykind could have reinforced that she was in the right apartment...
Then after being exposed to all of this she made the choice to pull the trigger. With that choice, her and only her choice, she killed a totally innocent man. That is a crime.
You are trying to sell us on Intent being the only threshold of guilt. That is an incorrect and false argument.
The threshold here is not intent, but if a normal person in the same circumstances, would have made the same decision.
The jury, those who saw all of the evidence said they would not have made that same decision.
You who have not been presented any of the evidence believe differently.
I’ll go with the jury and if they believe that a normal, rational person would have done the same thing in the same situation.
