So is texting ( sexting) while driving in Texas!
Jurors are also annoyed by irrelevant information.

It is not relevant, but it is illegal.
Standing up from sitting on the sofa is considered charging?

I seem to recollect she moonlighted as apartment security? Perhaps she was investigating the complaint and became overly aggressive.Since she lived one floor below him, do you think she could smell it and know he was smoking pot? I've lived on the ground floor before and never noticed any smells: cooking, pot, cigs, you name it, just heard footsteps. The neighbor said he was asked about it and he lived across from Botham. Seems like someone on the 4th floor complained.
I would think that the attorneys would have stricken any witness who felt strongly one way or another about marijuana use, but JMO. There definitely could be a bias from those opinions.It is not relevant, but it is illegal.
If standing up is considered charging, then I have a lot of concern for what will happen to many people using that standard.Standing up from sitting on the sofa is considered charging?
Maybe she subjectively perceived that, but would an objective reasonable person?Sadly, yes in her eyes. Getting up off the couch could have been coming at her. In her screwed up mental state.

That’s pure speculation, IDK
I don't consider anything that AG was doing prior to shooting Botham Jean "irrelevant". AG was thinking about "touching". Not focused on anything else. While walking around with a loaded gun. Great.
And I do think that Dallas PD has been dragging at the bottom of the barrel to fill jobs. She was probably found "suitable", given the fact that there is such a high turnover. They work with what they get.
The State's opening statement said it entered in his upper left chest and moved to his abdomen, there was no exit wound. The State said it appeared he was shot while going from sitting to standing, or that he was at least in a "crouched" position. Now, the state is obviously arguing one side, so I expect to see some expert testimony re. the bullet path.Does anyone know what part of the body the bullet(s) pierced? Thanks
That he had been wearing the flip flops and their position showed he was approaching AG as she entered. It was in the defense opening statement.

Judging from the location of the blood stain, it would appear he did take a step or two. The blood stain is adjacent to the arm of the sofa. If he were seated, then stood up and got shot, I'd expect the blood stain to be towards the center of the sofa, if not closer to the window. I've tried in a very amateurish way to draw that here, the blue circle showing the general area of the blood stain.Standing up from sitting on the sofa is considered charging?
