If the kid's account is accurate then this is a *perfect* case for nullification.
The officer was not lawfully where he was...
Oh,so he was just prowling the area while off duty...in civilian clothes? Hey,thanks for telling me that...I thought that he was *in* uniform...on duty...carrying out an assignment (the welfare check) that had been ordered to complete. Well,with this new info I've changed my mind!
He was not following TX law nor PD policy/tactics in all of these circumstances.
As I've said before I reject the validity of Texas law *in this case*...assuming,that is,that the kid's account is accurate.As for policy...if that's correct then that could argue in favor of a "negligent homicide" conviction rather than "murder".
Final exchange , just to clarify: we’re talking about a cop who shot a woman not a woman who shot a cop, right?
As previously stated, we shall see.
