There is new talk about it today. Course the media is probably just trying to stir the pot.It isn't new. Happened on the first day, iirc. Judge was upset but there seem to be no action taken. She did warn the DA that their boss better know the rules apply to him too.
I have a permit to carry and do it all the time. But, I can honestly say if I came home and found someone in my house, I would not automatically shoot him. In the state I live in, there's no duty to retreat, but shooting and killing someone would be my last option. If I had to shoot someone, I would, but there would have to be a genuine, clear, imminent threat and no other choice. And I sure as heck would turn on the light to see who I was shooting and if that person had a weapon.
BBM: My thoughts exactly!
And back to that 9-1-1 call ... IIRC, the length of the call was a little over 5 minutes -- which 5 minutes MAY have made a difference in saving this man's life is she would have rendered aid!
But AG was too busy texting and too busy about saving her own arse.
MOO

Agree with you, as usual.
I do think she had remorse and made a horrible, horrible deadly mistake. And yes, she must be held to a higher standard as a public servant carrying a gun. She will have to be sentenced according to law. I'm more interested in the civil case that will follow. I think she'll get 2 years in prison, and 5 probation.
Amateur opinion and speculation
Anyone, what time does court resume tomorrow? Thanks

Can you say why the civil case is more interesting? It'll be against Dallas PD, right? I don't think remorse enters into this, exactly. I think it's about her intention. As a regular citizen, I think I have a duty not to kill people and that my own fear is only one factor. My ability to properly judge a situation is part of what I think gun use is about. If I can't properly regulate my use of a weapon and someone is injured or killed and I intentionally pulled the trigger...that's pretty serious. More than 2 years serious. But I hear you. Are you thinking that Ms Guyger shouldn't bear the main brunt of the punishment - but instead, City of Dallas?
She didn't plan to murder him ahead of time, sure. But she certainly did intend to kill him when she unholstered, aimed, and fired her gun.
She intended. I think that’s super clear. Maybe not premeditated his murder and yes, mistakingly walked in to the wrong place. But Let’s not forget the first shot went into the wall. She shot twice. The second hit bo.
Do you happen to have a link for that? From what I've heard and read, they can't determine which shot was fired first.She intended. I think that’s super clear. Maybe not premeditated his murder and yes, mistakingly walked in to the wrong place. But Let’s not forget the first shot went into the wall. She shot twice. The second hit bo.
Jax--What the heck? I think we were separated at birth. We've posted the same thing, at the same time, multiple times now.Glad to see you VAgirl - we've been hoping you have a source for which shot struck Bo. Last I heard was the judge yesterday saying we can't tell. TIA
2 thoughts here - I know we’ve said that what happens after she shoots doesn’t matter but then I sat back and thought about it. Even with significant damage from the bullet, he still had a pulse and was still breathing at the time the other officers arrived. I’m not sure you can recover from being shot like that but the fact that she did not render aid or start CPR makes me wonder.
Could he still live with a shot like that? And by not rendering aid, aren’t you technically killing him by not trying to save him?
2. I think it speaks to itself that 3 people somewhat (including guyger) involved in this case have all killed somebody. Of course they are gonna be extremely biased towards amber.
Do you have a link or testimony for that claim?She intended. I think that’s super clear. Maybe not premeditated his murder and yes, mistakingly walked in to the wrong place. But Let’s not forget the first shot went into the wall. She shot twice. The second hit bo.
It's pretty hard to get CC permit where I live.
