Well, that’s still not what it’s called. Texas doesn’t have “degrees” of murder - only Murder and Capital Murder.
I agree that the sentence fits, though.
Ridiculous.
Ah, a story!
What did?
The fact that she intentionally pulled the trigger, knowing that her actions could result in his death.
We are not discussing the law. Set your legalism aside.
On an intruder in her home.
Not an intruder, not her home.
But let’s assume it was both her home and an intruder… can you shoot anybody in your own home that shouldn’t be there? Even if they pose no threat?
Yes.

I’m perplexed by the conundrum you’ve presented here. It’s bugged me all day. I think it was a mistake, but should that really go without consequence? I just don’t see it as a path forward for our country. There has to be consequences for your actions. Personal responsibility. Guyer made choices all of which turned out to be based on false presumptions.
How could she not know that the decor of the apartment wasn’t hers? Why did the bullet wounds indicate they came from a downward direction? I’m having a very hard time buying the story that has been portrayed.
She willingly carried the gun on her hip. She had a responsibility to only use it when all other options had been exhausted. She blew it and it’s gonna cost her 5 years.
For the record, Baldwin should also be charged.

This is where I am. Assuming that her story is true, I think leniency is okay, but punishment is still due. I think lethal force requires a higher level of scrutiny, responsibility, and if required, penalty.
This isn’t a fender bender, she didn’t steal a bunch of money; she took the life of an innocent man.
That is where I’m at too. I agree that we are over policed and there are too many laws that allow it. When you take an innocent life, you lose the benefit of the doubt.
BS…. Show me the law
Never saw it.
Ah, but that’s an entirely different context.
Incorrect.
Why is punishment still due if it was a mistake?
You can look it up.
Justice or revenge?
He’s 26 years-old.
Idiotic and another reason why mandatory minimums are also idiotic.

This question has been answered several times. We get it, you don’t agree.
No, it really hasn’t.
The only fly in that ointment.
It wasnt her home.
It was his.
