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

That was directed at the statement that going into the wrong apartments was common.
I think she went into the wrong apartment on accident and was a dummy and shot the guy.
I also was one of the people in here that said maybe she should get a lenient sentence because it seems like a mistake

ROFL, whatever, dude. It wasn't a mistake, or even a one-off. You openly wished she had been assassinated, twice.
 
Lol @ everyone spiking the football yesterday and tantruming now.

10(5) years is a joke but lol anyway.
 
Identical floors to the building after a long shift while sexting boyfriend and never had previous encounter with him or a motive to kill him.

Sentence seems about right. Maybe I'm missing more details.

Wow, another one. We have quite a few posters in here who believe summary or preemptive execution of the police is desirable, don't we?

She didn't walk away. She lost her job, her career, and now will do 10 years in federal prison: well-measured for such a tragic mistake.

All in all, the sentence seems pretty much perfect. Can't complain.

For all intents and purposes this is the perfect end cap to this thread but the back and forth never ends.

My favorite is having to listen to the ones that read a quick summary of the case and formulated an opinion to use in argument against those that watched the trial.

Modern American debate in a nutshell. :(

Yeah people on social media are freaking out because they don't understand the law. Media keeps saying 5 years to 99 but that's no correct. Thats assuming the Jury wanted 1st degree which was never gonna happen.

The picked regular murder (2nd degree unpremidated) which is only 2 to 20 years. She got half the maximum and 5x the minimum and people are saying it's a scam (uh not really they gave her in the middle)

This is only partially correct. Yes, they were never going to find her guilty of capital murder, but (regular) murder is still a first degree felony and carries the stated 5-99 year penalty (+optional fine) unless downgraded according to the criteria below. I didn't watch the trial. Do you happen to have a source that shows where they downgraded the charge to a second degree felony and do you have any information on their reasoning?

To find her guilty of murder,
  • The defendant intentionally and knowingly caused the death of another person;
Source: https://statelaws.findlaw.com/texas-law/texas-second-degree-murder-laws.html
"Texas does not officially use the term "second degree murder" ... the equivalent in Texas is known as just "murder," which is a first degree felony."
And this,
"Murder in Texas is a first degree felony. This charge will typically carry a sentence of between five and 99 years in a state prison and/or a fine of no more than $10,000. At the sentencing stage of the defendant's trial, the defendant can raise the issue of having committed the crime in the "heat of passion" arising from an adequate cause. If the defendant is found to have been in the heat of passion at the time of the homicide, then the charge will be reduced to second degree felony. A second degree felony carries a sentence of between two and twenty years in a state prison and a fine of no more than $10,000."

There doesn't appear to have been any reason to reduce the charge to a second degree felony. That doesn't mean I have the foggiest clue about how the judge applied sentencing criteria to arrive at 10 years and whether or not that falls within normal guidelines for a case like this, but I would like to see a source before I buy your claim the sentence is based upon the second degree felony penalty range.
 
Re: the above, all that having been said, at least she didn't just get a fine.
 
10 years is a harsh penalty, but this was a harsh crime. Seems they factored in her years of service which is fair. The victim's brother though, holy cow. What an amazing man. I'll be the first to tell you I am not possessed with his grace and forgiveness and I could never be strong enough to do what he did. That was incredible.
