Prison?? She should be given a promotion for her public service.
He was FAR more accomplished than she was. Your comment proves how jealous racists are when people of color do better than them - to the point of encouraging murder.
Guess what? People of color aren’t going to stop doing better. Better get over it now.
Prison?? She should be given a promotion for her public service.
What public service? How is shooting a successful, law-abiding citizen in his own apartment a public service? On what planet does that make any sense at all?
I'm sure she was confused and trigger happy. I'm sure she didn't plan to kill him, but she did nonetheless. Can the prosecution prove it was murder? I don't know. Under the law in Texas, she probably should have been charged with manslaughter or another lesser charge, as this doesn't seem to fit the codified definition of murder.
She certainly needs to be held responsible for her actions.
Moot point. Part 1 of her on the stand she says her dog was at her mom's house because the building was doing a "moisture" inspection that day. She didn't want maintenance letting her dog out while doing that so she took her dog to her mom's house.
Edit: Okay, part 1 of her testimony:
The first 20 minutes is the judge talking about the placement of the shoes (flip flops) and she's about tired of talking about the damn shoes because no one has proven anything about the shoes except that the first responders moved them at some point. So, she's said, basically, no more about the shoes he may or may not have been wearing.
.
So she expected someone to be in her apartment at some point in time that day and she still fired blindly without a second thought.
She needs to go away for a while.
She was trouble walking, I've known a few people like her. She never should have been a cop. He was sitting on his couch eating a bowl of vanilla cream, can't get more innocent than that. It could have been any of us, she needs to pay.
I think she thought she had a home invader caught in the act and figured she could immediately kill who ever was in "her" home...She did shoot first before she could learn who the "robber" was did she not? Unless the guy had a gun in hand she was 100% wrong to shoot him.....
Did some reading, so please correct, FYI for some posters;
Texas has capital murder, the big one, the death penalty type one.
Then it has simply "murder" and can be a first or second degree felony depending on some factors. Sentencing ranges from 5-99, but it still is "murder" with no term like 2nd degree murder.
So not the more common (is it more common?) 1st, 2nd, etc degree murder.
Is this correct?
yes.
