Now we wait for the jury to reach their decision.
It shouldn’t take long....................
She killed an innocent man.
She’s going to prison.
For later....
must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant wasn’t acting in self-defense.
Sounds like an impossibility to me, since she Went into Someone else home with her Gun Drawn and Murdered the Occupant who happened to live there.
They should have Arrested and Prosecuted the Investigators that “Saw no Crime” as accessories after the fact to Capital Murder.
Let’s see, was the door unlocked? How’d ah get in? Sp if it was unlocked she should have known something was amiss.
Was the furniture different? Why yes.
guilty
I thought I read somewhere that the 12 jurors include 5 blacks and 5 Hispanics. I’m guessing a hung jury is the best she can expect from this ... followed by a retrial on manslaughter instead of murder charges (if that’s even allowed under Texas law).
The door was ajar. Brought up during the trial that the door had problem closing.
My prediction:
Guilty of the lesser charge of Manslaughter. Sentencing will be 5 years. Out in 2.
I do not know what they will charge her with, but she SHOULD serve at least 5-8 years in prison.
It shouldn’t take long....................
_________________________________________
Especially since the jurors were sequestered.
Deliberations should take maybe 15 minutes. They will be home in time for supper.
They’ve been at it over 2 hours...
I predict manslaughter.
Even if she actually believed she was in danger, she made a tragically fatal mistake................
Really?
They must be divided between Murder or Manslaughter.
In a case like this, the defendant’s testimony is self-serving by definition and is unsupported by any other evidence, which means it is worthless to a juror considering the charges.
He coming off as an absolute moron on the stand is going to help her case.
I would think walking into someone else's apartment uninvited and unannounced would take "self-defense" off the table.
No one but her believes her story. But since she is a policewoman she will walk.
She wanted it both ways. Says she drew her gun because of police training. Did not follow her police training to call for back up
