Dallas officer who killed black neighbor also shot a man in 2017 incidentWhat was the “first incident”?

Respectfully have a completely different POV. The DA would not be going for murder without some solid evidence. It is my *speculation* that the discovery process will show she had filed noise/pot smell, etc. complaints with the management against him. Time will tell.I don't think there is any evidence that she had any beef with him. I believe her story, I believe she went into the wrong apartment by mistake and then shot him because she wrongly thought he was in her apartment.
The problem here is, if he actually was in her apartment, she is allowed to shoot without having to retreat due to stand your ground law. So this becomes very tricky due to TX laws.
If she believes she is defending herself, then there is no malicious intent, is there?
I think there should be laws covering so-called "accidental" shootings but as of now I don't think TX has them.
But I think murder charge is a stretch.

The outcome has so many, many dependencies - the composition of the jury, the "performance" of the Prosecutor and Defense Attorney, the demeanor and testimonies of plaintiffs, defendant, and witnesses; the strength of the forensic data, et. al.DA wouldn't not be going for murder without solid evidence? I beg to differ.
Or there would be no "not guilty" verdicts.
We, meaning the lawful citizens in N. Texas, believe there will be a fair and just trial IF an impartial jury is empaneled and we believe A.G. will most likely be convicted of Murder. Her story is a made up lie to cover her keister, falls so flat, and Botham Jean was an innocent man inside his own property.
Just as Texas is a " Stand Your Ground" state, we are as strongly opposed to a just person being murdered on what is " their ground".
He was unarmed. He did absolutely nothing to provoke this renegade attack.
I, and my friends, believe she will be found guilty. We've thought that from the start, and after I talked to a Texas State Policeman ( they work closely with the Texas Rangers out in the field but are not in the same division of LE), I am personally convinced that she is an example of police using excessive force and killing with no concern for human life or the right of another. It's my perception after the one on one conversation that she will be an example for all who follow as how never to intimidate or hurt innocent gentle people, regardless of gender, age, race, religion or any other factor.
Everyone tells me " He was a gentle man". It breaks my heart. We want a full measure of justice served here in Texas. That's all I know to say. We are united, and I believe a jury of her peers will be as well.
I think she went there to arrest him for the pot due to the smell, or some similar motive. I think she felt empowered by her badge and apartment rent-a cop status. She was a loose cannon, and an innocent man paid the ultimate price. In return, she must pay her debt to society, and attempt to make reparations to his family.I know the law, and that a murder charge means "intent". When AG pulled out a gun, that was "intent". No mistake there. She was fully aware, focused, and deliberately shot him with her gun, not once, but twice. Grabbing for a gun, is premeditation. She had a split second to think, and instead of retreating and calling the police, she decided to shoot to kill.

I can't find anywhere the amt of bail. She bailed out on the manslaughter charge but wouldn't a murder charge carry a much much higher amount?

The case number is F1800737.

Very amateur. Are you claiming that she could smell the marijuana from the parking garage?
A “loose cannon”? Because she shot a guy in a justified shooting once before?
“Empowered by her rent a cop status”? A police officer is an officer 24 hours a day. Not just when on duty.
You are correct, I am an amateur when it comes to law enforcement procedures. Since you are a verified expert, we can all benefit from your analysis of this tragic incident, so thank you for your responses.Very amateur. Are you claiming that she could smell the marijuana from the parking garage?
