I can see that happening. He thought there was an intruder in his home

I think it would be instinctual to get up and say, "Hey, hey, hey!! What are you doing?"

 

[Hraefn]

They are back. Sgt. Watson still testifying about Dallas PD procedures and policies.

I'm sure we've all done one or more of those things. But I doubt any of us have ever shot and killed an innocent man. That's what this trial is about.

Yes. It's pretty surprising that some don't understand that. Carrying a loaded weapon carries a greater duty of care. So does being LE.

Martin Rivera called (the partner)

Rivera can't recall how long they were intimate

Rivera can't recall how long they were intimate

yeah right

 

[Longtime_lurker2019]

He claims that their relationship ended late 2017, prosecutor showing snaps on the day of shooting showed they were sexting

Did I hear right?
The judge is letting in all of AG digital activity up to the murder?

Yes, that is what I understand from watching

 

[Longtime_lurker2019]

He just said with a straight face he doesn't remember the conversation they had just before the shooting. LIAR!!!!!

I wonder how he writes any police reports accurately with his limited memory.

 

[Longtime_lurker2019]

Denies that her message "I need you to hurry' means that he was headed over to her house. Did not know she texted him while she was on 911 call. Pointed out messages deleted. Asked him if he knows why AG deleted messages to and from him that day

 

[SoCalDavidS]

He sure does blink a lot for someone telling the truth.

 

[BeachSky]

He pointed her out in court like he totally wished he did not know her IMO
He is -Blinking A LOT-

 

[SoCalDavidS]

It's funny, And Scary, how people truly believe that cops are always honest and tell the truth.

 

[iluvmua]

I would vote for manslaughter and not murder right now.

Based on what?

He seems more relaxed now talking about his LE work.
Not so, talking about AG. He was biting his lip, blinking, furrowed brow when talking about AG, that day.

EVERY one of your statements will be contested in court. And if someone was in my house, and not responding, I would shoot to kill, and I would be justified in doing so. I think some sleuthers are missing the point: reality is not so much of import as Amber's PERCEPTION of reality. In her mind, she was defending herself and her castle. "error of fact" ...Murder? No. Manslaughter? Possibly. I'm not downplaying the tragic loss of Botham's life, but we need to see the "whole picture" and put away the pitchforks and hoods. The Mob Mentality needs to go.

BBM. The irony of your comment is not lost. Can you show me where the law talks about her perception?
