She is being tried for murder..if found not guilty she can't be tried for man slaughter..so Im told..

Only the Judge can provide jury instructions. Both the prosecution and defense provide their requested instructions to the judge who decides. It's all what the lawyers think will work based on how the trial has gone. If Dallas DA's Office doesn't request that a lessor include offense may be considered, and her attorneys think Murder was not proven, then her lawyers may go all in and request murder or nothing.

The judge can allow the jury to consider the lesser included offenses of Manslaughter and Criminally Negligent Homicide.

Exactly. We only have her side of the story because the other witness is dead, and at best she went to the wrong apartment, shot the legal inhabitant while he was next to his couch, then called 911 and admitted to everything, and texted her partner/lover while on the phone with 911, and didn’t render aid to a dying man she just shot, even after she realized her mistake.

That’s best case scenario for her.

That’s exactly what they did when I was in the jury for a murder trial. Basically gave us three different charges we could choose from. Our guy was guilty, but I thought the charging spread was kinda BS for the guy at the time. Granted, they pled out the case before we could render a decision. So I didn’t have to decide which one to choose.

It's possible to be exhausted, and too exhausted for sex?

Have you been talking to my wife again

No way in hades to I think this officer intentionally walked into this mans apartment to do him harm, what motive/reason would she have?

The prosecutor said she had options, sure she did but when you are exhausted physically and mentally you do not always make the best case scenario decision.
We are talking about a person who thought they were in there house and defending themselves and their property.

Obviously she made a huge mistake going into the wrong apartment guilty of that, once she was in that apartment hind sight says she could have made better decisions especially being a police officer truth.
Capitol murder no way!

Amber Guyger sobbed as she took the stand in her own defense Friday, the fifth day of her murder trial, saying she will forever regret the night she killed Botham Jean.

But the prosecution said the fired Dallas police officer had other options before she confronted Jean and cared more about herself than the dying man after she shot him.

Guyger, 31, fatally shot the 26-year-old accountant in his Dallas apartment on Sept. 6, 2018. Her defense team has called it a "tragic, but innocent" mistake and has argued she was reasonable to believe Jean was a burglar when she entered his apartment, thinking it was her own. She was off-duty but still in her Dallas police uniform.

"I was scared whoever was inside of my apartment was going to kill me, and I'm sorry," Guyger said through tears Friday, her voice shaking. "I have to live with that every single day."

But the prosecution emphasized that Guyger could have retreated before she opened the door and even afterward. They said she could have backed off and used her police radio to call for help. Police headquarters is just blocks away from the apartment complex.

Stub I think both sides agree she did not “intentionally” go in the wrong apartment, kill him because she thought he was a burglar. I think everyone agrees it was a “mistake”. The question is if it was a reasonable mistake, and there were several mistakes that are considered.. Like going to the wrong apartment, 15% have done it there, could probably happen to anyone. Reasonable. Bad luck door is unlock a whole bunch of mistakes follow and she finds her self face to face with him pulls gun, reasonable? I think at this point is stretching reasonableness, I would be “oh [censored] dude sorry!!!”...and I would moonwalk out of there.

And before someone ask me how much experience I have walking in on burglars, I have never done that, but I have many times walked in the girls rest room by mistake, I’m like “oh [censored] sorry ma’am!!”

Yeah, because Dallas PD has such a short response time.

Guy I see that almost all agree on that but when I see “Give her the Max” and other statements similar it is very irritating! Obviously there are some that do not respect our Police in general.

This is a terrible incident, and I hate that a man lost his life, but I worry about the word retreat being used in Texas at all. We are a stand your ground state. She made a terrible mistake and should have to pay for it. The option to retreat is an option, a bad one if you are already in control of the situation as she was, no matter how wrong she was. Let someone out of your sight(s) and you lose control of the situation, and possibly your safety. I don’t want to see a new bill from this, much less a new law next September.

She was never in control of the situation. That's why a man is dead.

No doubt you’re right, despite your need to point it out, you surely understand my point.

You are right Bob.. It was impossible for her to be in control of anything after a long days work and being all hopped up on dopamine and endorphins from sexting her adulterous lover.
I haven’t heard yet but maybe the prosecutions back up plan is to charge her with texting and driving if the murder conviction falls thru. I mean... She would have not driven to the wrong floor and none of this would have happened if she was not sexting and driving.

Her training says that she should not have entered the apartment and should have backed out, looked for cover and waited for backup. She took 8 hours of de-escalation training but says she doesn’t remember it.

It’s not a stand your ground case, nor a castle doctrine case, nor a self defense case. She wasn’t in her home.

They were talking on the phone while she was driving, I think. She was texting after she got out of the car.

I don't see how "stand your ground" would apply. She wasn't in her home, vehicle or place of employment. She shot an unarmed man in his living room.

(Her training says that she should not have entered the apartmen) ?? Why would her training tell her not to go into an apartment she thinks is hers

She took de-escalation training. The article explains it, Stub.

The jury will decide. White cop shoots unarmed black man who was eating ice cream. Done deal. They will decide that she is guilty of something.

From her word she gave him commands, he moved, she reacted thinking she’s in her own crib

Wasn't he by the couch still? Didn't they have to move the ottoman to treat him? What is the distance between her and the victim?

I saw her "crying" on the stand. No tears.
