[scarletstar]

Recess for the day

I was really looking forward to hearing what she has to say for herself. Just made a fresh coffee!

There's no way this was an accident imo. No way. There is no justification. She knowingly and intentionally caused the death and committed an act dangerous to human life. There can be no question. State does not have to prove motive.

They have not produced any witnesses nor evidence so far that shows she intentionally went to his apartment and killed him.

That is their whole case, that she knowingly and intentionally went to his apartment to kill him.

First Shot went it to the wall. The second bullet went into Mr. Jean .... why shoot twice if you didn’t intend to kill?

Police officers are trained to keep on shooting until the threat is neutralized.

Yeah, same. Born & raised in Dallas, work and live here too....so not right across the street, MY BAD, but off the same street just 4 min. walking distance!! And just stating, for the victim to have door unlocked maybe he felt somewhat safe because of the police station being only 4 min away from him??!!

When I said I live in Dallas, it should have been, I love downtown Dallas. I fat fingered the key. Sorry. And I do agree he could have thought that, not having lived in Dallas all his life.
I only moved away 7 years ago. Growing up, downtown was where we shopped, went to movies, out to dinner. But it's just not the same, as I'm sure you know.

I don't think he purposefully left his door unsecured. I think it was a horrible accident and the first in what was to become a horrible night. I know I've thought my door was locked before only to find out it wasn't. I now always double check even when I'm sure it's locked. I hope others learn from this.

I don't think that's there case at all. They aren't claiming she went there intentionally, but that once there she shot intentionally. moo

We know the motive. She was in fear for her life.

A threat that just was sitting on the couch eating ice cream in his own house.

There is no testimony which shot went where to my knowledge. If there is, would you care to share it?

 

[Jax49]

We know the motive. She was in fear for her life.

If so why didn't she ever say that in the 911 call?

 

[Rocco]

We know the motive. She was in fear for her life.

Yet she never says that during the 911 call when she explained what happened.

A threat that just was sitting on the couch eating ice cream in his own house.

That is how they are trained

It goes without saying IMO. I guess if you don't think she feared for her life, you think she did this on purpose just to murder someone?

No, I no longer believe she went there to kill. But, I do believe she was angry not fearful. moo

I would have thought she would have mentioned that there was someone in her apartment and that she shot the intruder

 

[iluvmua]

They need to get her on manslaughter

 

[Gardenista]

No, I no longer believe she went there to kill. But, I do believe she was angry not fearful. moo

edit for spelling

Angry that someone broke into her apartment?

 

[VAgirlatheart]

This only means it gives the prosecution extra time to come up with a good cross examination strategy to absolutely go in on this girl and try her to bury her alive as they should. Trip her up. I would love having a shot to cross examine AG.

One of the officers yesterday said that a red light came on when the wrong key was inserted into the lock on Jeans door. She should have noticed that.

Angry that someone broke into her apartment?

And angry at her lover/partner.
