from the accounts I have read she was not charged with 2nd degree murder.
Guyger, a four-year veteran of the
Dallas Police Department, initially was charged with manslaughter. Two months later, a grand jury indicted her on a murder charge
She faces up to 99 yrs. in prison.
There are 4 kinds of murder in Texas....none of them are classified as 2nd degree murder.
1. Murder
2. Capital Murder
3. Manslaughter
4. Criminally Negligent Homicide
The lady cop was charged with murder.
When there is not an intent to kill somebody and it is "accidental" (broad interpretation) then the charge is usually manslaughter.
For instance, a couple of years ago here in Florida a drunk driver ran into a car of teenagers killing the driver and hurting the other occupants. Totally responsible. The driver was charged with manslaughter, not murder.
She was originally charged with manslaughter, which was appropriate. However, for SJW reasons the charge was changed to murder and that is despicable.
She was railroaded for political correctness and that is wrong.
It was also wrong for the family to frame the shooting as a racial thing when there is no evidence of it being racially motivated. May they rot in hell for that.
