That’s because the glove didn’t fit.

Guess that line worked better than I got the wrong door.

I weep for my people. The slave master's religion got us still in shackles

There was some subtle mammying going on in the court room in the Amber Guyger case today.

That’s why I really wanna see what this sentence is going to be

In the sentencing phase of the Amber Guyger trial today, to help show that Guyger isn’t the vile racist she has proven herself to be, the defense put up two Black character witnesses for Guyger:
A crackhead named LaWanda Clark...
And a Kenyan immigrant cop named Kathy Odhiambo
🤦🏿*♂️

You all want to know why racist killer Amber Guyger only got 10 years for murder and will most likely be out in 5 years? Because of all that Samboing and Mammying going on in the court. Here is Botham Jean's BROTHER hugging Amber Guyger.

🤦🏿*♂️

I have never seen a judge hugging a convicted cold blooded murderer. Black people in this courtroom was hugging, petting and comforting this racist killer Amber Guyger nonstop. Thats the justification that mostly white-identified jury needed to give her a slap on the wrist

One of the more open and shut cases there is.

The conviction and sentence was just right imo.

Like I said in previous posts.

Manslaughter with heavy sentencing.

Or murder with light sentencing.

Murder + 10 yrs seems about right.

Remember guys it wasnt premeditated. She was ****** but there was a bad set of circumstances and bad luck involved too.

I thought that too after the punishment phase.

The victim's brother being very forgiving was a big reason for the light sentencing in a murder conviction, imo.

Your last paragraph is spot on too. Despite some people trying to make it about race or about police brutality, it was simply a case of someone making some very ****** mistakes at the absolute worst time.

I don't have a problem with that verdict. A man is dead because of her carelessness and incompetence. She probably never should have been a cop to begin with.

Yea she shouldn’t have been a cop. She didn’t like blacks and shot one when she felt she was justified. A train wreck waiting to happen, which in fact did.

Dumb b itch is lucky she’s. It in California. She would be looking at 15 to life for this second degree murder.

Her friend in the department needs to be axed to before he kills someone.

Dumb ***s.

[Don Pichardo]

Does 1st degree murder imply ‘intent? Did she go into the dude’s apartment with the intent to murder? I guess that’s what the jury thought

All
Murder has intent has an element (all crime does). Intent for murder is malice aforethought.
Malice aforethought can be express or implied.

Implied can be via reckless and wanton action that is dangerous to human life. (Example driving 100 mph in a busy street. If you run someone over malice is implied)

Generally first degree require premeditation.

A bad set of circumstances.

If she got off on any other floor or walked to any other door nothing happens.

I read his door had a funky lock.

When she used her key, it opened his door somehow.

Any other door and she doesnt get in and she realizes her mistake and walks away.

At the end of the day it's her mistake. She made the mistake and killed somebody. Any other person in that building wouldn't walk into his room thinking it was theirs.

If his door wasnt open, nothing would have happened.

She would have realized her brain fart and just walked back to her apartment.

Sad set of circumstances.

He lost his life and she messed up hers because her dumbass got on the wrong floor.

I've read she parked on the wrong floor too? I dunno if true.

She parked on wrong floor so she automatically walked into the wrong floor?

If her car was parked in the wrong spot too, makes her excuse more believable.

My reading of VTCA Penal Code shows that there are only one relevant murder statute. There is VTCA Code 19.03, covering capital murder, but it doesn't apply.

VTCA Penal Code 19.02 provides for three criteria: 1. Intentionally or knowingly causes death, 2. Intends to cause serious injury in a clearly dangerous act, or 3. An act in commission of a felony or immediate flight. The statute continues to read that at the punishment phase, the defendant may raise the issue about adequate cause and immediate influence of sudden passion (heat of the moment). Successful assertion of such issue would lower the charge from a first degree felony to a second degree felony.
