Thank you. I did not know what options the jury will have.Grayling813 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 12:36 pmThe judge ruled that the jury can consider manslaughter. She also said the jury can consider "castle doctrine" in their deliberations. Not sure how the castle doctrine applies if you are entering a residence other than your own and killing the lawful resident.Lynyrd wrote: ↑Mon Sep 30, 2019 12:27 pm She is guilty of killing the man. I think this whole trial will hinge on what the judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney agreed to as to the options that will be presented to the jury to vote on. Having been a juror before, I remember one case where I wanted to do something that the judge did not offer to the jurors as an option.
Was her crime premeditated murder? No.
Did she make a mistake? Yes.
Should she be held accountable for killing an innocent man? Yes.
What statutes define the crime she committed? I don't know.
But here lies the rub. What will the jury be allowed to convict her of? What will be the punishment?
