This is going to get interesting as the Jury seems to be deadlocked. If it’s a hung jury I bet they will try again and most likely end up with the same result.
I carried a gun and taser for 18 years. Not sure how she screwed them up, but one thing stands out. I’m a big dude and lifted weights for years. I once heard a woman on TV say that every guy she passed on the street can kill her with his bare hands.I know thats the evidence rule in criminal cases, in a civil case wrights full character gets exposed.
Yes she made an error. An error like this is something you get fired for or sued for, not sent to prison. It’s not manslaughter. The joke of an “expert” witness the prosecution called said she didn’t even have the right to tase him, they should have let him go and try to arrest him at a later date. Jury didn’t hear it but Wright has a 1 page thick file of skipped court dates and fleeing from police. The prosecution use of force “expert” was a comically bad witness

Kind of makes you think. I’ve been in fist fights and never feared for my life. Maybe I’m retarded, I don’t know
The prosecution can’t prove the elements necessary for the charge
I’m so sick of this shit and can’t believe people still sign up for the job. I was a roofer and in the guard until 9/11. Spent 2 years on active duty state side and the chief of police asked me if I wanted a job.This is another case that has nothing to do with right and wrong. It’s political and racially driven. Even if she walks they will sue her into oblivion. As a LE her only hope is to avoid prison time. That will not be good for her health.

It was different back then. I still got accused of being a racist every time I pulled over a black person, but we both knew it was bullshit and it didn’t go anywhere. It’s still bullshit but now you can’t even make an arres without getting a civil suit and it being a national headline.
You guys still wearing a badge have my respect, but you’re crazy. I wish you the best.

Jury says a "trial outcome" has been reached. Interesting terminology is it not?Verdict is reached!!
I am so glad that I am off the job, Retired 12 years ago come the end of this January. I saw this coming then, with the shit heads that were in charge of MEP.Guilty on BOTH/ALL counts? Every damn cop in the country should turn in their badges before this happens to them.
She screwed the pooch in one of the most epic ways possible, but it wasn't intentional. She deserves 'something', but going to jail for the rest of her life? Over a split second decision the anti-cop chest pounders have never experienced? No f'ing way I'll ever put on a badge again, thank God I'm done with it.
I thought the same and certainly thought beyond a reasonable doubt would be at play.Wow. I didn't think there was any intent - but what do I know. Retired 7 years now. Glad I'm off the job...
Absolutely. So how is this any different than a doctor making a mistake in surgery that kills a patient??!? If it was negligent then they would be possibly facing loss of license and lawsuit. They aren't sitting in court facing manslaughter charges. Very slippery slope.Guilty on BOTH/ALL counts? Every damn cop in the country should turn in their badges before this happens to them.

Beat the snot out of his girl friend some time back. Member of Nation of Islam.One must remember that Keith Ellison is a racist who has been or is a Black Muslim.
Which will most likely take decades.hopefully she wins on appeal
There won't be a 'fair' trial until they stop the looting that happens whenever 'the they' don't like something because 'reasons'.I haven't read this entire thread, and didn't really follow the court proceedings. To what extent, if any, was *race* brought up by the prosecution?
Or was it (rightfully?) just about this incident, and whether or not you believe there's a difference between accidental or negligent?
She got railroaded by the judge not instructing the difference in legalities between reckless and careless.
