I think she was over-charged. Should have been manslaughter like the cop who accidently grabbed the Taser.
Amber Guyger to appeal murder conviction in killing of Botham Jean at Tuesday hearing
Amber Guyger to appeal murder conviction in killing of Botham Jean at Tuesday hearing
quote:
DALLAS - Attorneys for convicted murderer Amber Guyger will make their case Tuesday to have her conviction overturned for killing Botham Jean.
Guyger, an off-duty Dallas police officer at the time of the deadly shooting, admits she entered Jean's apartment by mistake thinking it was hers and shot Jean thinking he was an intruder.
Guyger’s attorneys are appealing to have the charge reduced and her sentence based on that reduced charge.

Another dumbass woman cop who clearly should never have been on the force to begin with.

OK, but that is a separate question.

Why act like women are the only gender fricking up policing?

Because these two incidents are an entirely different level of total incompetence from the other officer involved shootings that normally occur. I don’t care what happens to either of them. That level of sheer incompetence, negligence, and/or raw stupidity may as well be criminal in my mind.

She broke and entered into the wrong apartment through her own frickup and killed a guy.
That's not manslaughter, that's murder by being a drunken idiot.

frick her.
She walks inside the man’s apartment while he was eating ice cream and shoots him dead.

It may be beside the point, but still relevant.

That was what the Texas Rangers who initially investigated this case recommended.

Actually, it wasn’t policing. She did it while off duty. Any drunk woman could’ve done it.

No, her conviction needs to stick. She fricked up MULTIPLE times there leading to a completely innocent guy's life being ended.

Zero sympathy for that gal.

right, an that by no means is "getting off". Manslaughter is still a felony.

Yeah but he had ‘gasp’ marijuana in his apartment

I don't have too much, but it's a little more than zero.

Even if she was drunk, it is manslaughter - like a drunk running a red light and killing a group of girl scouts in a school bus.
Murder needs to have some element of malevolence involved in the event.
Now there should be a level of manslaughter that contains a severity of penalty to match the magnitude of the incompetence whether caused by mental deficiency or recklessness or incompetence of the offender. Hell, I can envision a death sentence for some form of manslaughter that grew out of abnormally reckless behavior.
Lets not dilute the "murder" word with application to incompetence. Some level of conscious criminal intent must be a prerequisite for a murder charge.

all I expect is for her to get the same punishment the rest of us would get.

I'm torn. In Louisiana, I think that's still murder. Justification has to be valid and the shooter bears the burden of a mistake.
Had she been in her own home? I think the shoot is justified, she walks and maybe keeps her job.
Going into someone else's home and going immediately to lethal force without justification (her belief, which I believe is sincere, it was her own home should mitigate the sentence, I think)?
Certainly feels more like murder than, say, Chauvin and Floyd.

I don't have much sympathy for her either, but I hate to see prosecutions based upon mob demands rather than the law and the facts. The Dallas County prosecutor bent to the will of the mobs in this case.
