Also, lol at the texts from Rivera. Kills me when white folks act like thats not how they talk about black folks when they think no one else is listening.

pro tip to everyone: if you have to preface what you're about to say with "i'm not racist but" that should be your hint to keep it to yourself

She is going to walk.

The power of a white woman's fake tears can do so much. And not I am not joking about that .. that is really thing.

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/may/08/how-white-women-use-strategic-tears-to-avoid-accountability


Yep. Look at that 20 year old blonde Ohio cheerleader who killed her kid.

And in this case:

- She's a cop.

- It's in Texas. Pretty much the gold standard for "Woo guns, blue lives matter."

- She's white and he was black.

I would be amazed if she wasn't acquitted.


Follow up, I am pretty amazed. Let's see what she gets for a sentence though.

Prosecution has asked the jury for 28 years, given thats how old Botham would have turned last Sunday, if he were still alive. I wonder what they are gonna give her...

That's a pretty lousy reason for a recommendation. The prosecution is trying to appeal to emotions here, and that should not be a major factor when making a decision of this magnitude in my opinion.

A major portion of the sentencing face is about emotions. Bringing up things like the type of person the victim/defendant are/were, etc, all of that is meant to appeal to emotions. Very rarely, if ever, are you going to get a robotic and emotionless case.

Additionally, how do you mathematically come up with how many years someone would get, with zero emotion?

I hope nothing happens to the prosecutor.

?

I've heard stories of prosecutors who got harassed by cops for prosecuting one of their own.

Not to mention prosecutors depend on good relations with the police in order to do their jobs.

ah. yes, I can see that happening. cops being petty is pretty standard.

Since it's a 3g offense (murder) she'll have to do at least half. So she'll be out on parole in 5 or 6 years.

If the roles were reversed and it was Botham Jean busting into her apartment and killing her...he would have been a geriatric by the time he would be eligible for parole.

She was not drunk. Her toxicology samples were taken the same day as the shooting and came back clean.

the drunk thing would make me less disgusted in her (slightly). the fact she was sober and still did this is fucking astounding.

Now that we can (officially) call it murder what motive could she have had for murdering him? Prior conflict? Noisy neighbor? Racism or not feels like there must have been another reason.

Read through this topic fully. Several post clearly explain what happened based on facts from the trial, not baseless speculation. Botham and Amber did not know each other at all.

You're not seriously suggesting you need to know someone to have a motive to kill? People have been killed for far less. Following the case not the topic but facts were they WERE neighbors. The rest is speculation but not baseless.

No Im not suggesting that at all. I only mentioned that because you asked whether there was a prior conflict. The answer is no, and that answer is based on evidence from the trial. All other speculation is baseless.

Again, read through the topic. Theres plenty here that detail what actually happened.

Dude, the only motive we have (and quite frankly, need) is within the facts. She thought it was her apartment and went in guns blazing, expecting to take out the threat. Thats it.
