No matter the out come no one will be happy. I really think this was a perfect storm and feel that there should be some punishment I just don’t know what.

Also if the jury follows the letter of the law the manslaughter shouldn’t stick as the definition manslaughter is “recklessly caused the death of another person”. She has admitted that she purposely shot him it was not reckless! I also think that there will be a appeal to not allowing the jury to hear the Texas Ranger who was the lead investigator state that he felt there was “No crime committed”. The reason for the judge not allowing them to hear it was because he was not certified as a expert witness.

I heard a lawyer and former prosecutor talk and they said they couldn’t believe that the case even went to trial. This is a hard case.

I’m open to listening to anyone, how her actions match the penal code.

Surprised it was murder and not manslaughter, but not suprised she was found guilty.

Same.

Guilty

Can't believe someone was clapping....

It's Dallas New Baltimore

It's Dallas

As I said in another thread - they stacked the deck against her and she had zero shot at a fair trial. And I stand behind what I said.

Probably someone from this post

Is she still out on bond until after sentencing?

I dont think 12 stupid people from Dallas county are going to be able to agree to this.
