if they knew each other, it'll be confirmed with calls and texts .. no mention of that ?
Because that's how the law works? You know, that bit about assuming not guilty, until is proven guilty?
In this case, it's "Manslaughter until proven Murder". If you have any evidents that remotely suggested that she is lying about this being an accident and this is actually a planned and premeditated murder, feel free to post it to make your case.
that is what I suspect. That there is some history between them. Probably they banged at some point.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.
again the necessary coincidences work against her.We'll see. Trial begins today.
Even if they were strangers, her defense of thinking it was her own apartment is a tough sell, unless she was high or drunk. Most anybody knows their own residence, the second they step in the door.
I always though that too. I think he gave her the pickle tickle and realized she was an unstable crazy cop chick and broke it off or he was dipping in someone else and she found out and went off. It would explain why a witness heard her yelling to open the door before she went in and shot him.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.
But as I said earlier ITT, let's say we totally give her the benefit of the doubt that she was sure it was her apartment the entire time until after the guy was dead. On the 911 call, it sounds to me like she believed her actions were totally ok as long as it was her home, as in, even though she had every reason to stay in the hallway and call it in, she went in guns a blazin without even knowing what the threat was. To me, that shows intent, or at least reckless disregard for human life.This is purely subjective and has no basis in fact but for some reason listening to that 911 call and her repeating i thought it was my apartment it came across as insincere to me.
Now i accept that's probably just my biases in my brain at work or something but just the constant repeating it like an alibi.
In shock you would repeat what you thought as well though.
Some random thing is making me disbelief her though from that call.
ps, i'd hate to have someone judge me based on feelings so hypocritical here .
Well actually that is not how the law works, although Police due seem to have the sole exception here.
it tomorrow you walk in to someone else's home and shoot them dead your defense of "i though this was my home and they were a threat' won't likely prevent you being charged with murder.
There might be some sympathy if they believe the 'mistaken home' reason but still the way the law works is that you would have to establish you were at threat and not just fearful of some unseen threat that spooked you. Meaning, ok you were spooked but what actually threat did you respond to beyond your fear?
I have written about that often that police, are the only ones who seem to get that exemption to simply say 'I was scared' and then are able to kill even if the person posed zero threat.
She can still be found guilty of manslaughter. The choice isn't just either murder or not guilty.Really worried the defense of this just being one big tragic accident will fly here and she'll be let off
Jury being sequestered
Sure but then you better ensure it is YOUR home.I don't think the law works like that here in Texas. If someone is in your home as far as I know you have the right to shoot them. You don't have to wait until they pose a threat. I could be wrong though.
is that accurate if she is not charged with that? Can the jury or judge just look down the list and pick something they think applies if they don't find what was charged was just?She can still be found guilty of manslaughter. The choice isn't just either murder or not guilty.
I bet anything she was shitfaced but they didn't do a toxicology that night.
LOL @ these fucking scumbags.
