Crime Dallas Officer Kills Man in Apartment "She Thought Was Hers"

People dont usually shoot someone right between the eyes when they dont wanna kill them, I think.

They dont usually bang on the door yelling "open up" to their own house, after trying and failing to get inside with their key. But that's just my opinion.
I don't know if it was premeditated or not. Even assuming it manslaughter I think she should serve some time.
 
Her 911 call also shows what a compelte psycho she is. Cares more about losing her job than the innocent person she murdered.
 
Didn’t the people working for her ask for a trial outside Dallas. Per her request.

I’m sure they’ll want to move this trial to a very conservative area with a more favorable jury pool they can choose from and less minorities so they can have an all white jury.

Then they’ll Play the weed card.

That's pretty stereotypical bad cop. The government pays them well to have this attitude towards the public. Some probably resist becoming stupid about this, but that is "bad politics" for them. Mentally stressful for the ones that are actually intelligent, sadly.
 
I can't remember the particulars of her case, but it begs the question. If you are standing in the hallway (apartment) and hes stationary deep inside the house are you really in any danger? To many variables to know for sure though.

My guess is Joe Public would get charged in most instances. Maybe SYG defense works in some states? It's reasonable to just close the door and call the cops (from a position of self-defense). If dude comes out with a weapon then you do what you gotta do.

Obviously, you're not. You have the clear positional advantage. You can retreat, you can lay in wait, cover the door while you call it in, etc. Your options are plentiful. The "bad guy" has exactly 2. Wait for the police or come out and get shot on the way out the door. My point was that she appeared to believe it didn't matter whether the justification was questionable because she was a cop and she would never be prosecuted regardless. If you're questioning whether any private citizen would likewise always be granted the benefit of the doubt in such circumstances, I don't think that matters because being a police officer would make it a near certainty that you would not even be arrested. A private citizen could be subject to all sorts of imposition until the police themselves were satisfied of the answer to your question.
 
I'm concerned they are overcharging her in order to get an acquittal. Isn't malice aforethought required for 1st degree, or being in the act of committing some other violent felony?

Kind of my thought as well. The "1st degree murder" charge sounds pretty cute and catchy, but is pretty much a guarantee that she will get the "not guilty" treatment. Makes no sense.

Or does it?

By the way, traditionally, that's not how you "beg the question". --Captain Pedantic

only if they can find a link before that day.

 
There’s obviously more going on here. The cop and that dude had some kind of relationship.

Is it plausible that you could enter a stranger’s apartment and actually believe you are in your own apartment, as she claimed? How did she even open the door without a key.

This story doesn’t add up.
 
This is at least 2nd degree murder. There are no excuses for her actions. The mistaken apartment excuse only goes so far. There's no protocol she was following, or anything. As her story goes(that's likely bullshit), she fucked up and murdered an innocent man in his own apartment. That's really all there is to it.

If they dangled anything in front of her, like pleading to manslaughter or whatever, and she refused it, she's an idiot. She's going down for this.

It depends. They might know some stuff we don't. Her story doesn't add up, and I wouldn't be surprised if they some evidence that they weren't exactly strangers to each other, and that there could be some motivation on her part.

On it's face, the whole thing sounds like an ill conceived plot she hatched to get away with murder.
 
Trial starts today btw. Hearing no officers are authorized to take time off for the next couple weeks.
