Amber Guyger Trial Starts...

[JazzGal]

I'd say murder, because she did have "malice aforethought," even though it was a split second before. She meant to kill the guy.

Also interesting is the fact that she was 'off duty' by the time she got home (even though she was still wearing police uniform).

The defense will be trying to say that she should be treated as any normal civilian as she's off duty and therefore her police duties and training should not be counted against her.

Ethically - should she be treated any differently to other people just because she's had police training and such?

Are you telling me that I'm more prone to being convicted of a murder just because I'm a policeman?

Is that fair?

It's an excuse, and counter to what happens when police are on duty (when they very rarely get charged with murder/manslaughter, even in cases of obvious negligence).

But in that spit section did she fear the intruder also?

Yeah but manslaughter or murder though? There's a huge distinction in terms of sentencing.

I don't care though

That's true. That's 1 thing the victim did wrong.

I think he had a right to not lock his door. How is it wrong?

Oh **** me, I'm asking a troll a question.

Nonsense. The man was armed with an ice cream! Imagine the damage he'd have done with some salad tongs or an oversized dildo!

She was the intruder. Are you asking if she feared herself?

Don't we all sometimes fear our own devastating power and importance?

It's a question of her state of mind at the time.

Well a 'mistake' he made then.

Do we know if the judge is allowing the Castle Doctrine?
