Dallas Officer Amber Guyger's trial for the murder of Botham Shem Jean begins (FOUND GUILTY)

[AP2.5]

i still dont see how "i was tired" can be an argument.

you're a police officer.. you work long hours and are expected to handle yourself accordingly. You're trained for that shit!

Being on "autopilot" is not an excuse.. and even if it was.. why is your autopilot to shoot someone immediately?

If you were so tired how you out here sexting your partner. If your sexting takes priority over knowing what fuckin floor ur on.. maybe you shouldn't be a police officer and have the trust of public safety

oh her and her partner were fucking?

 

[Inori]

oh her and her partner were fucking?

and they both deleted the texts from that night apparently.. but the texts were recovered

 

[Disanthrope]

are there multiple building A's though?

Im talking strictly floor wise. I get it cuz ive done it. The problem with Amber is she made a common mistake but then her white privilege kicked in. The white privilege that tells her she's in the right place despite what her eyes see. Cop privilege helps that mindset too. On what planet are white women and cops ever wrong??? Not this one

Being too stupid to have a gun is no excuse for using that gun to kill an innocent man. Fry that bitch.

My question is this...

There’s plenty to doubt about her story and plenty of facts that don’t add up.

But what evidence is there to support a motive for murder? “This bitch lying” (while true) isn’t enough for a murder conviction, you gotta have evidence to support what you think actually happened.

Because it wasn't spontaneous. She banged on the door demanding to be let in, giving her time for premeditation. Also she LIED about the front door being unlocked (which contradicts the banging story) and lying about any aspect in this case works in the favor of premeditation too

true....means, motive and opportunity. the motive is the key element missing for the murder conviction.
when the news first broke, people were speculating if she was fucking dude because they couldn't understand how she got in. regardless of that, I want to know of what prior history that they had e.g. did they even know each other? had they exchanged words before (friendly or otherwise)?

That alone ain’t gonna be enough

 

[Disanthrope]

That alone ain’t gonna be enough

I think it is. Murder is all about forethought. That's established here

A police officer could easily be arrogant enough to bang on their own door if they feel there’s an intruder

Thats were cross examination comes in. The prosecution better be sharp

My expectations are extremely low. Hopefully manslaughter sticks.

 

[Disanthrope]

Real sharp

 

[IP360]

We know they were gonna try to cover her tracks.

 

[Old Man Cain]

If they're trying her for 1st degree murder she'll walk. Involuntary manslaughter will definitely get her convicted anything else she'll walk

The ironic thing is I’ve accidentally gone to the neighbor underneath me s crib plenty of times

Lol it happens. I do that at my girls apartment. Then you notice the lighting might be different or the scent on that floor is different and realize... ima dumbass

Idk if i told the story in this thread but i did this in my gf old apt.

Was in my phone most the time, went to 2nd floor instead of 3rd....first door on right.

Stranger answered, ironically they had a girl living there with same name as my gf so they let me in.

I looked around n was taken aback. I couldve set myself up. Shit tripped me out how i let myself make that mistake.

 

[BRIAN B.]

hung jury in the least, no way she's acquitted 1st go round (hope not)

 

[DOS_patos]

No door decoration ass niggas

 

[DMorgan]

Going to the wrong floor and going to the wrong door are 2 very different things. Folks can go to the wrong floor just not paying attention. But going to the wrong door and actually sticking your key in that door is some whole other shit.

 

[DMorgan]

Yall out yall rabid ass minds thinking this country is going to send a WHITE WOMAN COP to prison for killing a black male immigrant.

This will be Guyger after the verdict leaving the courthouse.
