Let her off easy.
I’d have given that trigger happy cop 99 years.
Ten years and out in three.
10 years for murder?
Jeez, people get longer sentences for bank fraud
Riots in 3...2..1...
I think the jury got this one right.
What was the reason they think this woman killed this poor guy? If it was murder, what was the reason?
wow, I didn’t see that coming
Ten years and a murder conviction do not compute.
Personally, I think that’s a fair outcome.
Five years to Life was the sentence range........
She walked into a man’s apartment and shot him. Then she made excuses. When she was being tried she used the tears defense. It only works for women. Thank God the jury didn’t let her walk. The tears defense probably shortened her possible sentence which is sad but at least she didn’t get away with it.
I am Definitely not anti-cop but I do believe her job helped in her trial and sentencing.
It gnaws in the back of my mind that if I had been working hard, maybe had a few drinks and went home to the WRONG house and fatally shot the ‘intruder’ that the case would have been handled differently.
If nothing else, SHE (well the LEO— sex or race doesn’t matter inre shooter or shootee) should be held to a HIGHTER standard and her punishment far more than I or the ‘average citizen’ who just made a mistake would have gotten.
It also certainly doesn’t help my way of thinking when I hear a ‘Black leader’ state on a National News Feed, that the conviction was a ‘Victory for the African American community’.
If it is/was a victory, it should be a victory for ANYONE that would have the nerve to sit in his/her own living room, to make sure the IDIOT that came into his/her house and shot him/her dead was properly ‘punished’.
If any of us, walked into someone’s apartment and shot them, would our sentence be 10 years?
I think not....
All are equal, only some are more equal than others.
The brother of the victim said he wants only the best for Amber and gave her a hug. He said he doesn’t have any hate for her.
Holy crap, I’m sitting here speechless! I was watching live coverage on Court TV, the brother of the victim just forgave Amber Guyger, said he had love for her and was allowed to embrace Amber in a hug for over a minute! It was one of the most touching and moving things I’ve ever seen in my life!
No where near enough!
Wonder how much the brother got from the victim’s life insurance policy?...double indemnity?
Just asking for a friend
I tried to put myself into her shoes...I have unknowingly SEVERAL TIMES went to the wrong car in a parking lot and tried to get in thinking it was mine. One time I even had a cop attempting to use one of his metal things to open up the door through the window! Thank God he failed because only as he walked away and suggested I call AAA did I realize it was NOT my car!
However, knowing all that, knowing you could get doors mixed up if all the same in an apartment building, her texts which they read in court destroyed her. She came off as a massive racist and I am sure it did not help her case at all.
