Must be if you're wasting your time on BARF.com!
He might not have been bleeding much. I made a shooting once where the victim was down and could not move his legs, he was in deep shock. While waiting for the paramedics we could not find the entry wound. It was just below his belt line and the wound closed in on itself.
He ended up being a paraplegic.
I'm in the same boat. Getting away with killing an innocent person, no matter what she may have believed, sets a bad precedence.What did the deceased do wrong?
Who pulled the trigger?
Sorry guys. That's how I see it.
Anyway, money talks.
She'll probably walk out of the courthouse without handcuffs.
I know she wasn't driving, that wasn't what I was saying. The lock not working makes it sound as if it's Botham's fault for being shot, which it wasn't. It's only her word of what conspired, but the problem remains that he wasn't guilty of anything, and didn't warrant being shot.She wasn't driving on the wrong side of the road. That would rise to the level of manslaughter. She went to the wrong apartment by mistake. The Defense establish it was a common problem in the complex for people to go to a wrong apartment when they had witnesses testified they had made the same mistake or had strangers walk into their apartments by mistake. And more importantly, Botham's door or door lock was defective and wouldn't always secure the door to his apartment. That was an unfortunate element introduced into series of unfortunate events and which she had no control over. If the door lock had worked properly, Botham would be alive. She walks or gets negligent homicide. If not this trial, then on appeal.
Full of bull sheit and unlimited resources to distribute? Ya in that we are alike. I can relate.Probably not. I am retired and have a lot of free time and a lot of opinions.
Thanks for reading all my posts!
IIRC, there is a fairly good number of people "beaten to death by hands/feet" every year. It is one of the cause of death categories that is tracked by the CDC. And no, not just kids. Adults as well. The elderly and those with certain medical conditions are especially at risk.Again no.
While it did not happen to me, my grandmother in nyc surprised a burglar in her home. He advanced on her, knocked her down and went running out the front door.
As I said, unarmed people are rarely a deadly threat.
No, it doesn't place blame on Jeans.I know she wasn't driving, that wasn't what I was saying. The lock not working makes it sound as if it's Botham's fault for being shot, which it wasn't.

She explained that in her testimony. You should watch it.How many of the mistakenly walking into the wrong apartments involved shootings? Or involved a gun for that matter?
I have a hard time believing that his apartment even if it was fairly dark had the same furnishings in the same configuration as hers. If she could see him well enough she should be able to make out differences from her apartment. She was a police officer, she should have been trained in situational awareness.
I watched part of her testimony and this was the one bit that truly shocked me. How poorly was she prepped that she actually said she meant to kill him? You shoot to stop a threat, not to kill. That question was a chance to make it clear to a jury that there was no murder in her heart, just fear. Instead, she came off as not just stupid but casually, unthinkingly malicious, too.the prosecution got her to admit she knew she was using deadly force and she meant to kill him.
Pretty dang stupid!Just how stupid is she?
From reading the previous post, I got the impression that you had done the shooting. "I made a shooting" parses like that to me. I get what you are saying after this post though.We caught the shooter. Was on parole at the time and I was subpoenaed to the revocation trial . The shooter was a well know scum bag we had run ins with.
The revoked him back to finish his 30+ year sentence.

My sis summed it up as "Wow, she's way too stupid to be a cop!" I have to agree. She made multiple, compounding mistakes before, during, and immediately after the shooting. She made so many it beggars belief.
Now, after she's had months to consider her actions and how they were perceived, after she's had time to go over her testimony with legal experts, it's utterly gobsmacking that she's still continuing to make mistakes!
Just how stupid is she?
I saw that and figured she would reply that her sole intent was to stop him from advancing. My jaw hit the floor when she answered him. Of course, it is clear she is highly upset by her own actions. She realizes her decisions caused an innocent man's death. She was shook while testifying, and may not even realize what she was saying. She seemed intimidated by the prosecutorI thought the same thing. I think those words are going to send her to prison.
