If it was at 10pm, what time did she get off of work? (If you or anyone else knows)

I don't know- but would also like to have that information.

I wonder if the new witness prompted the arrest?

I missed the press conference. It must have been some powerful conversation to get her under arrest so fast.

I am knocking my head about the new witness.

Did she see something?
Has she heard from the officer something about previous issues with him in his apartment?
Was she with the officer after the shift?
Did she hear the officer on her phone as she was pacing the hall?
Had she witnessed the officer draw her gun before?
Did the officer confide something to her?

Wow. I am relieved she was arrested. I wonder if the charges will increase or change over time.

Texas law doesn’t formally distinguish between voluntary or involuntary manslaughter.

A criminal homicide is charged as manslaughter when a person “recklessly causes the death of an individual,” according to the Texas Penal Code.

A prosecutor doesn’t have to prove intent or premeditation in order to earn a conviction.

Manslaughter is a second-degree felony in Texas, punishable by two to 20 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.

That's quite high for manslaughter it seems. Maybe they do think the charges will be increased later for some reason.

I am not relieved. Why would anyone wish a crime was committed?

Relieved that the person who committed the crime is arrested.

I am not relieved. Why would anyone wish a crime was committed?

I did not say that I wished a crime was committed. In fact, I would be happy to have never known this man's name under these circumstances. I am relieved that the wheels of justice are turning and holding this woman to account. I would always want someone who has committed a crime to be held accountable.

I would appreciate it if you did not use my post to accuse me of wishing a crime had been committed. Nothing is further from the truth. If you are confused about my writing, I invite you to ask me why or what my intent was.

No one is wishing a crime was committed. People are hoping for justice for the crime that was committed. I'm relieved she was charged and arrested, because it should have happened days ago.

If she lives directly below him could it be a noise dispute? I know his next door neighbour said he was quiet, but noi going through her ceiling possibly wouldn't bother his neighbour.

I thought about that too.

At least more information is starting to slowly trickle out....

That was a quick bond out. Would the Police union pay that?
