Amber Guyger Trial Starts...

[framer]

As long as the prosecution doesn't get cute an try as murder 1, should be a pretty easy conviction.

So this is the case of a policewoman who, after a shift, went home to her apartment, but got into the wrong apartment (i.e, the same position but on the wrong floor), and shot the owner of the apartment in the heart (victim's an African American sitting at home watching TV and eating ice cream).

Was it self defense? (i.e., she thought the guy was an intruder in her home)

Or was it negligent killing? (apparently policeman are trained to shoot first shoot at the leg)

Did she use racial profiling to determine that he's a threat? (i.e., he's black so he's dangerous)

Honestly, it's kind of offensive to ask if it was self defense. At best, it was complete and utter despicable.

She ****ing murdered someone by her incompetence.


**** that bitch. Lock her up.

LOL .. we'll see man, apparently the DA is so hell bent on getting a conviction he even broke a gag order and spoke to the press. Luckily it didn't lead to a mistrial.

In Texas apparently they don't have a 'First Degree Murder', but rather a catch-all 'Capital Murder' ... so they wouldn't have been going for murder 1 or 2 ...

What I know is the DA upgraded this from the original manslaughter charge to a murder charge.

 

[Archie Moses]

Yeah it's a tricky one...

Cos if she truly believed that she was entering her home with an intruder, and perceive the intruder to be a threat, does she have the right to eliminate that threat?

Not tricky at all. She ****ed up and took a life.

 

[Archie Moses]

OK just to play devil's advocate - how about the Stand Your Ground Law?

You're allowed to use force (even deadly force) to protect yourself in your own home?

If she truly thought she was in her own home - was she not in the right to view him as a threat (i.e., an intruder) and defend herself?

Even if she thought that, her **** up took an innocent life in his own home.

**** her incompetence.

Haha.. @Archie Moses , calm down bro... no one's saying she's not guilty, we're just discussing it.

One time at college I walked into the women’s room on accident... true story

..... and... what happened next?

This is dumb... maybe a civilian could accidentally shoot someone that they think is in their house but a trained officer has to have better judgement. Even when you walk into someone else’s apartment you should notice other stuff about it that is wrong. Whether she’s lying, stupid, or was on something she needs to be put away.
Do you need to prove dumb AF to get murder 1?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

..... and... what happened next?

I shot everyone in there...

Kidding... I saw a girl washing her hands and thought why is she in the men’s room... then I saw no urinals and said ohhhhh ****. I apologized and scurried out of there... it was finals week and I literally was walking with my nose in my notes before a test. I was charged with nothing but embarrassed as hell.

Self defense? Was she threatened? And she couldn't recognize that the furniture was set up differently in the apartment?

She drew and fired without issuing a warning? Was there a confrontation?
