She was banging on the door and he opened it and she shot him thinking he had broken into her apartment. It was a tragic, idiotic mistake one born of fear and lack of level headedness. She's guilty of murder.

That’s how I read it.

I’m sure she’s very sorry. But anyone in the criminal justice system knows that’s not the issue.

I wonder why she was banging on the door, if she thought it was her own door?

She is going to argue he was charging her and did not comply when told to raise his arms. Sufficient for "reasonable doubt"...Texas jury? i would think the odds favor the officer.

Is it possible she has a roommate?

Well it depends on which story was true. Early reports was that he opened the door, now the story was that the door was open and she walked in.

If the neighbors' accounts of hearing her bang on the door pan out, then he could have opened it himself.

Who knows. If she heard movement inside she migt have gotten angry and banged on the door.

We don't know if those reports are accurate. If she did bang on the door, why didn't she just claim she heard the "intruder" in her "apartment"?

Why would she bang on the door when she could just use her key to enter and confront the intruder?
