Tdallas Police Officer Found Guilty Of Murder
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/am...xUh?li=BBnb7Kz
We all remember when this happened. Off duty Police Woman enters what she thought was her apartment, saw what she thought was an intruder, and shot him dead.
At the time, all sorts of theory's erupted. Did the man, who was black, defile her in some way? Was there something going on that would have caused her to have cause to shoot him.
In the end, as sworn testimony brought out, she simply was on the wrong floor, entered the wrong apartment, and shot dead a man she thought was an intruder.
How did someone this reckless ever get to be a police officer? It turns, out, she was preoccupied with her lover, another police officer who happens to be married. She had a lot on her mind, so much so that she got off on the wrong floor. She saw the door partially open, and apparently without thinking, went in and killed the man.
Sure, it's not really that simple. But that is the outcome.
Now comes the punishment. Was the case overcharged. I think not. She was a police officer. She has a responsibility to not act in such a reckless manner.
I predict 20 years to life.

it was reckless but not premeditated
justice is unequally applied at times mostly due to political considerations

Thank you for trivializing a very serious topic where an innocent Black Man lost his life.

I thought she was overcharged and that was due to political considerations regarding blacks.
should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter.
wouldn't surprise me if the defense appealed the decision.

it was not reckless, though.. negligent, yes, but not reckless. if she was reckless, it would be that she shot wildly, not knowing or caring if anyone was hit.. Amber knew AND intended to kill Botham Jean. no recklessness there.

I would have given manslaughter over murder, but criminal negligence was the right sentence.. I don't know why the Judge didn't include that, but if I was a conspiracy theorist, I would say it wasn't, because Amber had a greater chance of acquittal with criminal negligence off the table. they will definitely appeal, and Amber has a strong case to win on appeal.. but even if she does, that is years away, she would have already served a proper sentence.. which by the way, given the murder rap, should be the minimum 5 years.. and I predict that is what she will get.

reckless -lack of care or caution
please!
negligent concerns duty mostly
as in a duty to do something but was negligent
usually I let something like this go by but it was too much given the perception I have of you

here's your negligence from the link you provided
Carelessness (also known as negligence): failing to exercise due diligence to prevent the actus reus that caused the harm from occurring - rarely used in criminal law, often encountered in regulatory offenses (e.g. careless driving) or in the civil law tort of negligence - these are known as strict liability offenses.
relates to duty
did you even read the link?
