This is America anything is possibleWhy would there be a mistrial? They’re going to acquit her. A mistrial means they’d have to do this all over again.
This is America anything is possible
Im really curious as to how evidence tampering isn't one of her charges... unless I missed something
cant they get the texts from the phone carrier?
Personal texts of her wanting to fuck her partner don't have anything to do with the shooting. Now any texts to anybody about the shooting would be evidence. Personal texts about whatever outside of the shooting ain't evidence.
At 10:02 p.m., Hermus said, Rivera received a text message that said, "I need you. Hurry." A minute later, she texted: "I f----- up."
Prosecutors said that occurred while Guyger was on the phone with 911.
"Should you be giving 100 percent of attention to the person dying in front of you?" Hermus asked Rivera.
"Yes, you should," he responded.
"Should you be sending text messages?" Hermus asked.
"No," Rivera replied.
Prosecutors also revealed that the day after the shooting, Guyger and Rivera had deleted their text messages to each other, but they were later recovered.
Rivera testified that he deleted the texts because "that's not something I want to be reminded of. I don't keep messages saved unless it's of importance."
The texts were recovered
She texted her partner about how she "fucked up"

You would think her sending a text saying she fucked up.. then deleting it would lead one to believe she/they were trying to hide shit
That is my point. Texts of that nature should be considered evidence. It directly talks about the shooting. Texts about her wanting to fuck her partner 2 days or 2 weeks or 2 months later shouldn't be.
speaks to her character though does it not?
Her texting leading up to the shooting... case could be made that she was distracted.. which could have played a part in her getting off on the wrong floor.. and trying to enter the wrong apartment..
Her texts immediately after the shooting... she's worried more about her fuck up than that mans life..
Both of them DELETING texts the day after the shooting... they both know they were doing something wrong and wanted to get rid of the evidence.
I'm no prosecutor but that shit seems to be an easy argument to make
People fuck to relieve stress so I ain't going to say that speaks to her character.
Of course the argument can easily be made in that direction. Just saying all of her texts shouldn't really be considered evidence, some of the texts should definitely be considered evidence. That's all I'm saying.
