Body placement? She probably wasn't thinking clearly when she came up with the first version and after thinking about where he was when she shot him, knew it wouldn't fly given where the body was found. Thus, version #2.

This is what I suspect.

In fact, I'd back away from the door and scan the vicinity before going in (bad guys might have posted someone outside).
Trust me, if a Police Officer is dispatched to suspicious circumstances, or a possible burglary and they see a door partly opened they back off, take cover and call for backup. Under no circumstances do you draw you weapon and start shooting inside the house, geezus there could have been a bunch of little kids in there.

Also take a look at the door. Slightly ajar my ass. Those things swing shut:

What other lie will they come up with next? Should have just stayed with the original story.
I am so glad people are seeing how her story has changed. It's different between the search warrant and the affidavit. Both are different than the original story. Is she ever going to tell the truth?

The more I read in this case the more confused I am. Certain she is guilty of at least manslaughter.

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.

Also, previous noise complaints by her could have been a motive.

I was not aware of that, thanks. That is most definitely a red flag there.

No doubt though, if this noise complaint issue turns out to be significant, there are some people out there (and on this forum) that will still support the cop, by saying he should not have made any noise, etc. Basically, continue to blame the victim.

If someone in your building is causing grief, you go to security or the super or whoever the ****. Confronting a neighbor is like the unwritten rule of things not to do. Not that people are that smart.

If this was a black police officer shooting a white girl in the wrong apartment, the fury from certain groups would have been more intense.
