I'm somewhat torn on this. On the one hand, I can see her story being plausible. Let's not pretend that anyone who just worked a 13 hour shift is going to be paying attention to a freakin' doormat.

 

On the other hand, she killed a guy in his own apartment while he was enjoying a bowl of ice cream. I'm not cool with that.

Depends on the severity of the murder charge.  "Criminally negligent homicide" seems reasonable (or whatever the equivalent in TX statute.)

 

It's unfortunate that she's likely to be punished more severely than her department, which policies seem more to blame.

I agree, this was pretty clearly a Manslaughter-type case, not a murder case. As for severity, from the news articles, it seems the punishment range is between 5 and 99 years.

 

Apparently the jury decides the sentence as well. Mitigation is going to be a B word for the defense, especially after the jury rejected the 'mistakes were made' defense at trial.

But the equivalent under TX law might just be "murder."  They may have "capital murder, premeditated homicide, and murder" on the books or something, and no "manslaughter" charge, and she still got the least charge.

 

I'm honestly not interested enough to look it up.

In other words, when asked if her gun control ideas would stand up to constitutional scrutiny, she shrugs as if "who cares"? Her campaign is going to go over like a lead Mondale.

Oh and she’s going to need more than those two billets she’s carrying
