The previous shooting is because she used her taser, and the suspect grabbed the taser from her.
Its crazy how some cops can go a whole career without any incidents, barely using their gun at all. And then this cop who now have killed 2 people already? I mean, how long has she been a cop for?

One of the other cops quoted said she was “hard-driving”. That’s not always a good trait for a person carrying a gun.
Even under the one-sided arrest affidavit, she could be charged with Murder under this standard:
"The defendant intended to cause serious bodily injury and committed an act that was clearly dangerous to human life and this act caused the death of an individual."
The key part is how they define the word "intended" and had that's been established in state court cases.
Manslaughter in TX seems to carry 2-20 years so that's an extremely broad range.
The Texas Rangers apparently did an independent investigation and felt this only warranted a manslaughter charge at the most. Sorry but I don't put any faith in their investigation.
Her entire story and scenario has more holes than Swiss cheese. First she worked a 12 hour shift. Then it kept increasing and now they are saying she worked a 15 hour shift. First the door was locked. Now it was ajar. So on and so forth, how utterly convenient.
One interesting tidbit is that she apparently lived right underneath the victim.
It's pretty much verified they didn't know each other. The discrepancies you mention aren't all that significant. She worked a 12-hr shift plus overtime. The door obviously was unlocked one way or another otherwise, how did the door get opened when she didn't have the proper key?
I don’t think what is bolded applies if the assailant is in fear of her life. Even if that fear was due to a gross error.
While not termed second degree Texas does differentiate between types of murder.
My understanding of Texas law is in that the murder could be considered a 2nd degree felony instead of a 1st degree for purposes of sentencing.
