    Why murder and not manslaughter? Guyger can be said to have willfully intended to kill the person by shooting him multiple times at close range, and the "mistake" of entering the wrong apartment was so egregious that it does not meaningfully reduce her culpability

        The grounds to overturn on an appeal are pretty strong. Involuntary manslaughter with a sentence, 15 year or something similar, is probably more appropriate. Such a sad story for the deceased man and his family.

        Texas does not differentiate "voluntary" and "involuntary" manslaughter. It's all manslaughter unless they can show exceptional "wrecklessness" or "intoxication," both of which carry different/harsher penalties.

        Plus, as a police officer, she's supposed to be that much more judicious and careful about using her weapon. "Mistakes" like this, from people with such authority and license, should be tolerated less.

        One would think this common sense when people are trained, given authority, empowered over others but one sees this across board w/ people in power but citizenry are held to a higher standard than those empowered. Especially, journalist who support this type of irresponsibility.

        In many trial outcomes, I ask myself "how did they arrive at THAT?!"... But I have come to realize - I was not in that courtroom. I wasn't on the jury. There could be a LOT that I don't know about what went on.

        Police she go around listening for noises in every apartment. Imagine the body count they could rack up.

        This just proves that apartments are deadly and should not be built, especially in my backyard.

        The unanswered question, and the root of the real problem, is how did the govt feel comfortable arming this woman? Exactly how was she trained, why is she so skittish, and low were the requirements dropped so meek, cowardly women could become cops?

        Killing someone while committing another felony? She did enter his home on top of killing him.

        Yes, but she wasn't charged with that felony so it doesn't apply.

        It’s bs imo. She probably refused a plea deal that would have the charges reduced to manslaughter. Deal making and corruption are what happens to the Law

        Not wanting to get into it about the Castle Doctrine, but the verdict makes sense because even if she was mistaken where she was she was not in danger until she went in after it, wanting to kill. She should've called 911 and stayed outside.
