It may be a tricky case that eventually gets sorted out in appeals court. While TX has Castle Doctrine and Stand Your Ground laws, I am not sure that either will apply here.
Castle Doctrine - She was not in her own home, does the law apply if you merely believe that you are?
Stand Your Ground - Protects a person when they are in a place they have a legal right to be - she had no legal right to enter Botham's apartment, once again is mere believe enough to override reality?
Do I think a TX prosecutor and jury are going to go hard against a white person that shot a black man? LMAO
Your racial fantasies are extremely silly. Most people in Texas are not white, including the Dallas DA, John Creuzot, who is black.
There was a red mat outside his door that she didn't have, numbers of the apartment were distinctively shown next to the doors. And she couldn't have found his door ajar, because the doors swing shut.
Quit saying that. It's not true. If the door is not quite the right size or hund slightly wrong, it can catch and stay ajar.
There was a red mat outside his door that she didn't have, numbers of the apartment were distinctively shown next to the doors. And she couldn't have found his door ajar, because the doors swing shut. This was demonstrated in video. She had to have lied when she said the door was ajar.
The fact is she banged on the door demanding to be let in, when her key wouldn't work in the lock. There are witnesses who heard this. Botham unfortunately answered the door.
That makes no sense. You haven't explained why she would think anyone was in her apartment who could let her in.
The officer's story - door was ajar. The conspiracy theory - door was locked and she had a key.
Officer's story - she thought she was at her apartment. The conspiracy theory - She was in her own apartment first and wanted to confront the guy because he had his tv or music too loud so she went to his apartment and banged on the door for him to open it. Once he opened it she yelled commands that he did not follow so she shot him.
One person can't be a conspiracy, so, no, there's no conspiracy theory here.
She's going to walk because they conveniently charged her with murder. That means if they cannot prove intent to kill him - and how can they prove that - the jury will find her not guilty.
She's already admitted she murdered him, so that will be extremely easy to prove. Proving it, however, is different from getting the jury to acknowledge it, and she also gets to assert affirmative defenses, so a guilty verdict is another matter.
Ummm yeah, I don't believe for one nanosecond that this was an accident.
