And that may not be sufficient reason to let her off. He was not a threat to her and she had 2 opportunities to back off and seek assistance. When she claims she heard him moving around in the apartment before she put her key in the door, she should have just left and called for help.

She didn't have to "set out to murder a man" in order to be found guilty here.
It absolutely is not.

How so? Murder charge in Texas doesn't have to be pre-meditated.

Now I'm scared the jury won't know the difference. Hopefully the judge will be very thorough in jury instructions.

Anyone else catch that she said "I thought he would come at me" when all along she had said he DID come at her???? I thought that was interesting.
The fact that she had life saving first aid bandages for bleeding in her backpack on her person and chose to text her married with kids cop partner instead of getting those out and using them is so very awful
She could have closed the door and retreated, she could have retreated, she could have said "WHO IS THERE?", she could have used mace, she could have used a taser, she could have radio'd for help....so many options!
(sorry for the run on sentence)

Well that is not going to bode well for her as a statement of her character, or lack thereof.
Sadly SMH. Despicable.

She was texting her cop partner - who she was intimate with for over a year - he is married with kids having an affair with Guyger - instead of radioing for help (would have brought help faster than 911) and instead of giving CPR and using her first aid kit to help him.

My thoughts exactly. And NEITHER should be on the police force.

Agree. Do they call that "depraved indifference"? IANAL

But that's different from texting him about having sex and getting drunk AFTER Jean was shot, which was eluded to in an earlier post. Were other texts revealed that talked specifically about wanting sex from him and getting drunk?
