They’ll convict her on that. She should plea.
She implicated herself with her mistake on camera.
Lesson here kiddos is that in anything you do, you need to react as though that is what you meant to do.

Probably. We’ll see if the jury thinks it will be a fitting conviction.

Good, she'll walk. As she should. Total accident.
Minnesota is a screwed up state.

Morons here are going to try to say accidents aren’t manslaughter.
I don't think anyone is seriously going to argue this... however, if 2nd degree manslaughter is all they think they have on her, I fully expect a much lesser offense will be settled on in her plea deal...

Good lord
She'll plead out. Serve minimal jail time and the city will pay a hefty civil settlement.

She won't plead out, because she's guilty of nothing.

Second degree manslaughter in MN literally includes accidentally killing someone while hunting
quote:Culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another
609.205 MANSLAUGHTER IN THE SECOND DEGREE.
A person who causes the death of another by any of the following means is guilty of manslaughter in the second degree and may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than ten years or to payment of a fine of not more than $20,000, or both:
(1) by the person's culpable negligence whereby the person creates an unreasonable risk, and consciously takes chances of causing death or great bodily harm to another; or
(2) by shooting another with a firearm or other dangerous weapon as a result of negligently believing the other to be a deer or other animal; or
(3) by setting a spring gun, pit fall, deadfall, snare, or other like dangerous weapon or device; or
(4) by negligently or intentionally permitting any animal, known by the person to have vicious propensities or to have caused great or substantial bodily harm in the past, to run uncontrolled off the owner's premises, or negligently failing to keep it properly confined; or
(5) by committing or attempting to commit a violation of section 609.378 (neglect or endangerment of a child), and murder in the first, second, or third degree is not committed thereby.

How long before they find a 6th grade classmate of hers to say she used the n word back in the day?

I’m not arguing the charge. I’m arguing your assertion that accidents aren’t included in manslaughter 2 which is objectively false.

manslaughter
I prefer a more gender neutral term, not some mansplaining gender specific wording

She should get a cash reward instead.

I will bet you literally anything that she doesn't take it to trial.

The charges haven't hit Keith Ellison's desk yet.
He's been known to up the ante on over charging and grandstanding just a wee bit in the past.

I expect a plea, but I don't think she'll serve any jail time. She'll lose her job and be placed on a lengthy probation, IMO.

I'd imagine there will have to be at least some minimal jail time to appease the public outcry.
We shall see though.

Yep, the word "concieously" is why she gets off.

You would have to be nuts to be a cop in today’s climate - shoot one gang banger and your life is over
