DC Tom Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 3 hours ago, Koko78 said: I'm somewhat torn on this. On the one hand, I can see her story being plausible. Let's not pretend that anyone who just worked a 13 hour shift is going to be paying attention to a freakin' doormat. On the other hand, she killed a guy in his own apartment while he was enjoying a bowl of ice cream. I'm not cool with that. Depends on the severity of the murder charge. "Criminally negligent homicide" seems reasonable (or whatever the equivalent in TX statute.) It's unfortunate that she's likely to be punished more severely than her department, which policies seem more to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for severity, from the news articles, it seems the punishment range is between 5 and 99 years. Apparently the jury decides the sentence as well. Mitigation is going to be a B word for the defense, especially after the jury rejected the 'mistakes were made' defense at trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have "capital murder, premeditated homicide, and murder" on the books or something, and no "manslaughter" charge, and she still got the least charge. I'm honestly not interested enough to look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 IT’S LIKE THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT FACTS: At Vegas Gun Forum, Democrat Presidential Candidates Agree on Universal Background Checks, Spar Over Mandatory Assault Weapon Buyback. But none seem curious about how America gun homicide rates fell nearly in half from 1990s to early 2010s. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
