Amber Guyger

I’m stunned honestly. I did not expect that.

Me neither!

[eradicator]

Dont disagree but shocked all the same.

[jshouse]

Seems like the definition of culpable needs to be reviewed.

[The Insurance Guy]

Dont disagree but shocked all the same.

That’s where I am

[IvoryRoot]

I’m very surprised.

I honestly do not see how it is murder, everything I have seen seems to indicate a TERRIBLE mistake. If it was a mistake I would think manslaughter... Terrible situation all around.

I think not providing any aid to him is probably what pushed the jury over the edge.

[BitBackShot]

I'm surprised she got murder, but no one is even disputing she intentionally killed an innocent man, so I guess it's not that shocking. They questioned her while presenting the forensics of where her shots hit (basically right in his heart) and asked her if she made those shots with the intention of killing him and she flat said, "yes". So I can see where the jury could weigh her admitted intent of killing heavier than her obvious mistake of location.

Really thought they'd give her manslaughter, but hopefully this can give his family some shred of peace.

a headscratcher for sure

Just saw where it said she didn't help render aid...

[texansfan]

Somebody is very butt hurt....

Manslaughter or hung jury I would imagine. Sad deal all the way around.

That would be me
She wasn't acting as LE
She was sexting and about to go do adult things
If she was Bob that works at Walmart this wouldn't even be news

[sectxag06]

so someone else posted this yesterday.

"Listened to a defense attorney's analysis. He said that since Guyger testified that her intention was to kill Jean, manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide come off the table and the judge may not allow the jury to consider it.
Murder or self defense."

the judged ended up allowing a manslaughter verdict anyway, so the whole strategy seems to have backfired on them.

[TexasCanesFan]

Wow. Didn’t see that verdict coming.

If I down a fifth of Jack and run your kids over while they play at the park is that murder or is that manslaughter get out in five years?
