I'm not too sure, on the surface it sounds like the typical manslaughter conviction. After her conviction the team of lawyers representing the dead man's family spoke of Martin so I wonder if the jury was poisoned by political rhetoric.It was the correct verdict.
I seriously doubt she'll make it out alive. She's White, she killed an unarmed Black, she's a cop. She's in prison as of yesterday. She's likely done.She got a gift sentence. She shot and killed an unarmed person in their own apartment. She got off easy, in N.C. she could be out in less than 7 I don't know about Texas.
She will be in segregation with informants, the bullied, law enforcement, etc. She should be fine, it's not like she killed a gang member who could have an assassin pretend to be one of these groups to kill her in segregation.I seriously doubt she'll make it out alive.

Should have been manslaughter and not murder. She was delirious and just worked 18 hours, and didn't even know she parked her car on the wrong parking level of the parking garage...

This is why traditionally small men and the average woman couldn't get hired before affirmative action took hold in mid 70's.I agree, booth. Put yourself in the shoes of the black man. In your own apartment or house just relaxing, then a "lost/confused/mistaken" neighbor comes in and shoots you. Not good. Inexcusable, actually. "Gift sentence" is the perfect way to describe it.
BFedup, she was also "Text Sharking" just before shooting the innocent black man. Instead of clearing her mind and seeking to sleep as soon as possible, the 30-something white woman was sending lewd, pornographic texts to her ugly, much older (and married) Mexican boyfriend/fellow officer, claiming she couldn't wait to have sex with him. She was sending these texts minutes before shooting the innocent man.
I guess having one less trigger-happy, Affirmative Action hire (female cop) off the streets is a good thing for the fine people of Texas?
