Maxine and Yolanda are going to have a real good time with that tart in the joint!Talk about a pleasant surprise. In retrospect, taking that cruise on bail was probably a good idea, last chance for a vacation for a long time!

"When you aimed and pulled the trigger at Mr. Jean, shooting him in center mass exactly where you are trained, you intended to kill Mr. Jean," Hermus said. "I did," Guyger said.
I was always under the impression that if your testifying at your own trial your defense team is basically tossing up a Hail Mary.I wondered about the wisdom of her testifying at her own criminal trial.
Any thoughts?

Going for the sympathy vote, but they didn't do a very good job teaching her to cryI wondered about the wisdom of her testifying at her own criminal trial.

I guess I was wrong before. I must have been wrong on what I read for the possible punishment. I thought it was 2-20 years possible, but I’m now seeing it’s 5-99 years. Way off!
Texas Ranger David Armstrong, the lead investigator, said in court last week -- while the jury was not in the room -- that he believed Guyger's actions were reasonable and that she did not commit murder, nor manslaughter or criminally negligent manslaughter. The judge would not allow him to offer his opinion before the jury.
Certainly NOT all cops. We were taught to "stop the threat". End result may be the same but saying that "I shot to kill" (stated as an affirmative answer to that question in her trial) has a different impact on judge/jury.Bull Shite: DA trick question, All cop's in the are USA trained to kill, 2 center mass 1 to the electrical grid.

How about a total stranger eating ice cream?However the “sudden passion arising from an adequate cause” would be like walking in on her husband banging someone else. Not sure it applies here.
Saw this in the CNN article. Huge upset there was a guilty verdict with these investigators stacking the deck.
Amber Guyger trial verdict: Ex-police officer found guilty of murder - CNN
Quoted for Teh Relevance.... conditioned police response ...
Good verdict! Now a long sentence is what we can hope for.
I'm going to WAG she gets 15-20.
Under the Texas statute, intending to kill him is irrelevant. She intended to shoot him, and did. When he died, that made it murder."When you aimed and pulled the trigger at Mr. Jean, shooting him in center mass exactly where you are trained, you intended to kill Mr. Jean," Hermus said.
"I did," Guyger said.
If she intended to kill him she deserves a murder conviction.
Smart people are trained to stop the threat - not to kill necessarily.
