Dallas officer kills man after mistaking apartment for her own, police say

Can someone make a list of these idiots aimlessly living their lives with no idea where they are or what apartment they live in? I would love to keep as far away from these fuckwits as possible.

Apartment complex must be loving all the free publicity about their locks and general security.

I am just making sure I understand the ins and out and what have you's. Gooby's comments confused the hell out of me and made me question what I thought I knew.

I was told she'd be back.  Imagine my dismay at some 5'6" dude on the stand who has horrible luck finding his apartment.

OK I'm trying to fight crime fighting and my legal assistant is off and the goddamn phone won't stop ringing.

Did the state not re-cross Guyger after lunch?

Maybe it's just me, but all this testimony about going to the wrong apartment now seems almost irrelevant.

It now seems to be all about what happened at the door.

Well...hellloooooo Jessica!  Have you slept with any of your students?

Again after you fucking make this mistake once, how the fuck do you not become aware and give the slightest effort???? Just inconceivable to me.

M&A at Kirkland & Ellis that's how.

Initially a dig at biglaw corporate types, but to be fair, that guy has probably put in more than his share of all-nighters.

Nope.  We are now on to bumbling neighbors who can't find their apartments and their keys haven't worked at one time or another. 

Oh my god!  You parked on the wrong floor!  What in the world did you do?

Unless they say “I walked into an apartment with with a doormat, even though mine didn’t have one, and a cracked open door, behind which I could hear a person walking around,” it doesn’t seem like it should move the needle.

And also then I immediately murdered them because fear for my life yo.

They are going to keep doing this until the judge makes them stop.

Fixed for the defense

so... these witnesses all realized eventually they were at the wrong apartment.  this helps the defense how?

So defense brings up a lady who noticed she was standing at the wrong apartment door because:

- missing doormat.

 

Wtf is going on here?

He will let them keep bringing these lost fools up...and in closing, 'and not a one of them killed anyone'.

And not a one of them pulled a weapon. And not a one of them expressed any fear for their lives. And not a one of them had the extra security blanket of a taser and a police radio. 

They just want to get to the end of the day. Start tomorrow with their key witness, who is the Dr? Or whomever?

 It’s Friday afternoon after a week of testimony. Plus the most exciting witness  testified this morning. The jury isn’t listening anymore. The defense is just waiting for recess so they can build up their defense through experts tomorrow when the jury is fresh again.

In all fairness none of these women were armed

How many Venus de Milos live in that complex?

Too bad they didn't have a battle dressing and first aid kit handy.

this officer doesn't seem very bright.  

So the state objects (and gets sustained) when the defense asks "what would you do" to the cop, but the defense does not.

 

nice job, defense attorneys

I am sure this is common in most proceedings but the absolute and clear bias the cops have that are testifying is terrifying.

If the defense keeps bringing up people to say that they were often confused, could the prosecution just ask them "Did anyone die when that happened?"

they don't even have to ask that.  they just have to ask "when you heard people inside what you thought was your apartment were you scared for your life".

The one thing I keep thinking about is that if my job is as an apartment maintenance person, this case could very well insure that it is absolutely 100% ok for someone to shoot me while I am doing my job.

Fellow cop just testified that he would wait for backup in a similar situation. 

Is that bad?

Was that on cross? If so I hope the prosecutor responded with "Seems reasonable."

They have.  Sometimes, from a persuasion standpoint, it's better to let the jury reach that conclusion unaided than give them the old trout slap.

This testimony is just a bunch of wadding the defense is shoving in the gaping wound that the state blew in the defendant.

Did the judge just say she hoped to have the jury break at 4? Meaning leave for the day or start deliberations???

recessing til 3:05 at which point they're going to prepare for an expert's testimony, jury is coming back in at 4.  what are they going to do between 3:05 and 4?  discuss what's permissible to ask and what isn't permissible as evidence?

He did a couple of time.  He said, "and you didn't shoot anyone or they didn't shoot you, did they"

IANAL but I've watched enough legal dramas on film and television to know you don't ask a question when you're not sure of the answer. This question could very easily be answered "yes" by someone. The question "in those situations did you ever shoot anyone?" would be a lot safer way to go based on my Hollywood expertise.

I thought of this, too. If I'm an apartment maintenance guy I would refuse to enter an unoccupied apartment at any time moving forward.

So, the defense attorneys are also better at first aid than Amber Guyger....
