You are right to be scared, Dragonfighter. Both the prosecution and the defense grossly misrepresented Texas law in their closing arguments. The defense did not object to the many misrepresentations of Texas law by the prosecution during the case, so there is little grounds for appeal. As attorney Andrew Branca (Law of Self Defense) says, even the innocent have a 10% chance of conviction by a jury. Effective representation is essential to maintaining one's freedom.Dragonfighter wrote: ↑Sat Dec 17, 2022 10:00 amWhat's the mixed feeling? Both were testified to and both were supported by the fact pattern. The problem a lot of people have is she wasn't a bad guy. There weren't any "bad guys" in this instant. Sadly, that happens regularly. The facts, including Dean's testimony would back up her justified use of force if she was the one left standing.chasfm11 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 15, 2022 6:11 pm Officer found guilty of manslaughter

I still have a lot of mixed feelings on this case. I personally listened to a radio broadcast of the officer testifying live. He said that she pointed a laser on her gun at him. He testified that he had trouble turning the laser off after he got her gun. Some of reports said that he saw her silhouette with a gun in her hand.
My problem was the ungodly malpractice by the prosecutors and a feckless defense. Watching this and a few other trials gavel to gavel scared the daylights out of me. I dropped the trigger on some insurance.
