Day 2 has been going on for 2.5 hours so far. Only two witnesses called to the stand so far. Most relevant of the two was one of the officers who responded to the 911 call and immediately administered first aid techniques to Botham. Body cam footage from the officer was shown. The prosecution is really highlighting the fact that Amber did not offer any first aid assistance while waiting on other officers to arrive even though shes trained to do so. 10 years seems fair. /s --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera https://signavatar.com/26999_s.png ...

as someone that's followed this case for the last year, guyger hasn't shown any competency as a human being except calling 911
doesn't know where she lives doesn't know the layout/items of her apartment doesn't try to engage in conversation, or identify herself as a police officer, or make any attempt to deescalate the situation. Instead her 1st response as a trained police officer is literally to draw her gun and start shooting at the big scary black man doesn't attempt to administer first aid while on the phone with 911, decides to text sex buddy instead doesn't attempt to administer first aid while waiting for police to arrive attempts to delete text messages and social media posts appeals being fired from the police department for killing a man in his own home because she doesnt know where she lives just everytime i think about this "case" it just pisses me off --- Tomorrow will be the most beautiful day of Raymond K.

I dont really see how your logic follows. Are you saying texting her partner proves that she really wanted Botham to die? By all accounts, she had no idea who he was until that moment. Its pretty clear from the 9-1-1 call and body cam footage from the responding officers that she was flustered and still trying to process what had just happened. Its not like she just started having casual text conversation with her partner. She was texting him things like Im screwed and I screwed up. Seems like she was slowly processing that her life was about to change forever. It was definitely irresponsible of her to not administer any first aid attempts, but I dont see how that equates to malice, especially in the legal sense. Anyway, Day 3 is starting. --- ...

Some interesting notes:
-Texas Rangers investigated the case and interviewed 297 of the 393 residents in the apartment complex -46 tenants, or 15% of the total, have accidentally placed their key in wrong door -38 tenants, or 23% of residents on floors 3 and 4, had accidentally placed their key in the wrong door -92 tenants had at least walked to the wrong apartment on the wrong floor -71 of these 92 were on floors 3 and 4 (Guyger and Jean lived on floors 3 and 4 respectively). Im a bit pissed right now after hearing Texas Ranger David Armstrongs testimony. He was one of the investigators in the case. He basically said that it was reasonable for Amber to believe she was in her own apartment and that Botham was a deadly threat. He said that she had no other options (not true), it was reasonable for her to shoot him, and that he believed no crime had occurred. The judge later struck down all his testimony related to the reasonableness of the shooting and speculations as to Amber Guygers mind state. This is that blue wall in action. Theres no way he would say this if the shooter was a non-officer. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

To be just a bit fair, Bothams apartment and Ambers apartment have the same floor plan. Inside the apartment, their living rooms had similar layout (couch and tv in the same place). Plus the light was off when she entered. Today they released pictures of the inside of both apartments. You can find them on google and compare yourself. Definitely doesnt excuse the other clues she completely ignored though. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

But on a very basic level I can understand how someone could make that kinda mistake.

Overall day 3 wasn't too eventful. Mostly they just interviewed nearby residents who heard the shots. This included one resident who had actually made the mistake of inserting her key into the wrong door. Nobody actually saw anything though and the witnesses mostly only officially established facts we already knew. They also interviewed a bunch of forensics experts about specific details surrounding the shooting. One of those experts gave a timeline of events on the night of the shooting (see post #71). Unfortunately, i missed 2 hours of testimony due to having a meeting at work.
The highlight for me was when the Texas Ranger David Armstrong tried to assert that "no crime had been committed" and the shooting was "reasonable". I literally almost cursed at my computer monitor while at work. Luckily, the prosecution objected and the judge struck down that portion of his testimony. The jury is not supposed to consider it for the trial, but the message has already been sent. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

She was worried more for the blowback on herself and texted her fuck-buddy/partner to help with her own issues rather than tend to the man bleeding out on the floor. To me, that shows intentional callousness. If she were fetal-positioned on the ground or unable to do anything, I'd accept she was in shock. But she was able to call 911 (implying she understood the severity on what had happened) and instead of doing more, just focused on her own well-being. --- PoW '09 Topic of the Year Co-Winners (Rada and Texy) FFD ...

She was worried more for the blowback on herself and texted her fuck-buddy/partner to help with her own issues rather than tend to the man bleeding out on the floor. Calling 9-1-1 does not mean you're not in shock or flustered. People frantically call 9-1-1 all the time while still actively in a state of shock. Seriously, just go listen to some random 9-1-1 calls. You seem to think that people in shock follow a specific set of behaviors (such as not calling 9-1-1 and balling up in the fetal position) which is not the case at all. It's difficult to predict how any specific person would respond to such a stressful situation. She was definitely more worried about herself though which is selfish. Not immediately administering CPR was bad judgement on her behalf, but calling it malice pretty much implies that she wanted Botham to die though which you're gonna have a hard time proving to anyone following the facts of the case. I don't even think the prosecution is taking that angle. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!
