You know arrest warrants come out before you see a judge, right? Bonds are set on the arrest warrant, so had in fact not even appeared in front of a judge. But would you like me to link the story about my arresting officer being caught with hydrocodone and boner pills 2 years prior, and getting a temporary demotion instead of misdemeanor and felony charges he earned? I've seen police cover up their frickery and still try to nail you over some weed.


Bruh it was a joke and no I'm not a lawyer nor been arrested so I don't know the exact steps your state has.

If she walks or gets any preferential treatment there will be riots. 100% understandable in this case


yea, there is an opportunity here. Maybe not a significant one, but one nonetheless for all the "x lives matter" people all over to come together and say this man got justice. His life was needlessly and senselessly ended and nothing can bring him back, but maybe some small amount of comfort or healing could be done in a community where there is an antagonistic relationship between the citizenry and the police

Why the murder charge though?



Because she broke into a guy's apartment and murdered him?

Then had her cop buddies smear his name in the media because he had a weed bowl in his house.

the very initial investigation/reporting was some true blue wall shite, but that flipped pretty quickly. in a day or 2 all fingers pointed at Guyger




The racial overtones on this alone was going to make sweeping it under the rug a near impossibility. Throw in the national attention...

My metric on this is to remove that she's a cop and he's black from the equation. In no universe does she not get charged for at least Manslaughter in such an instance, thus she should get no less even with those particulars brought up.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there needs to be a precedent set that no matter what the circumstances, you get in a shitload of trouble for killing someone in their own home for no reason at all

I still don’t understand how she didn’t realize she wasn’t in her own apartment. Is there no other connection between the defendant and the victim prior to the victim’s death? If she is being honest, I have some sympathy for her, but how could you be so stupid?

Its not no reason at all though, it was supposedly an accident. We still don't know it was a complete accident for sure though, as there were rumors they may have run into each other in the past.

Given that, I agree she needs to do time. But if she truly walked into the wrong place, how much time is legit? 8-10 years? I mean everyone loves to complain about our prison's being overloaded, and if this was an accident that is likely never to be repeated by her then I don't see what an excessive amount of jail time would do?

I have no idea on Texas jail times, but I could see something like 10-20 years with parole after 10 and her getting out as fast as possible. Basically a sentence that looks heavy but turns out light in reality?

I can absolutely see her getting off on the wrong floor and trying to go into the wrong apartment thinking it is her own. That part is absolutely very plausible as I've done it myself.

The part of this incident that gets me is how she didn't immediately notice it was not her apartment when she opened the door, even if it was dark. That's usually an "oh shite" moment and you quickly apologize and close the door then haul arse to your actual apartment. Hell, different apartments typically even smell differently based on who lives there. There are a million giveaways that it's not yours.

I think the weed thing should not be held against her as that was her department's doing and she - as far as I know - was not part of that.

This is my probably unpopular take on this - I think she did walk into the wrong place, but it just doesn’t matter much to me.

If you’re so unaware, negligent, and trigger happy that it results in an innocent man’s death in his own home at your hands, then you need to do significant jail time.

This, too.

It was definitely a “shoot first, do everything else later” response.

So apparently she got to scrub all her social media before her name got out LINKy here except her pinterest account... let's observe some of her gems.

Even before she opens the door, there were likely signs she maybe should have noticed. In every apartment I've lived in, people put things outside their door to make the place more homey. A flower pot, a door hanger, a floor mat, etc. I can buy the argument she went to the wrong floor. But I don't really buy that she was so unaware that she didn't realize it even after opening the door and seeing him there.

Oh, man. Those screenshots are rough. I've noticed that the newer the cop, the more "thin blue line sheepdog" they typically put out on social media. Most older guys don't give a single shite because it's just a job at that point.

Pretty sure its been shown that this complex didn't allow any outside decorations. I believe this was a mass owned place with everyone entering their units from the inside hallway. Not somewhere that there's an outdoor breezeway with entrance mats, windows, etc.

Basically it looked like a hotel.

I would say cops who get in trouble should have to share a cell with someone they helped lock up, but that skank would probably enjoy it.
