The jury completely ignored the law based on emotion, or they didn't believe she made a mistake and pulled the gun instead of the taser on purpose. The misdemeanor reckless handling of a firearm says she has to knowingly handle the firearm reckless. They had to get a guilty on that charge to get the manslaughter charge.
I haven't been glued to the trial but thought that she would get off because she lacked intent. But then I saw the closing arguments where the prosecution explained that there is no "mistake defense". The law is what it is: Guilty!
Honestly, it sounded outlandishly believable to me. Who in their right mind would purposefully shoot someone with a gun and then come up with that story immediately after?
Completely believable. I know many people who have stated they couldn't locate their phones while they were talking on their phones. People make mistakes.

And people must face the consequences of those mistakes. Just like a child ..that is how one learns and grows.

Unofficially ended during the Summer of Love 2020.
But officially ended today.
