Wild prediction: He's not going to personally testify that he was "shooting to kill"
(I just thought of a legal trivia question:Sound prediction. Guyger fired two shots. She didn’t have a believable claim she accidentally fired twice. For her, it was all or nothing.
He may want to "simply get probation",With this murderer, he could try for a claim it was accidental and/or plea down and simply get probation.
ABC radio network news just said that "... the community is reeling in Fort Worth ...".If I recall correctly, manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide carry a 2-20 year sentence with the possibility of probation. A deal may not even be necessary for probation.
I hope his ass gets fried
The theory is that he was aiming already, that his finger was resting on the trigger, and that he didn't intend to pull the trigger when he did.

Is that a formula for probation after a conviction during trial?
I know if I was on the jury it wouldn't fly.
If you weren't pointing a gun at a person you had no business pointing it at , we wouldn't be here right now.
It makes more sense to me to send one to the front door to announce, the other to go around back quietly to make sure no one may be trying to sneak out.
When you make a mistake near a cop, you get killed. When a cop makes a mistake near you, you get killed. And you need not even be aware there is a cop nearby. And there is probably literally no place you can be safe from encountering a cop, despite your best efforts. Inside your own home? Nope! Just like there is no place immune from other crimes, there's no place immune from police misconduct/incompetence either.

It's still homicide either way. It's just a classification issue according to legal definitions under Texas Law. The principal differentiator is intent to kill or severely injure. So the question is, did we get here because of negligence/incompetence, or did we get here because at some point he decided he wanted to shoot somebody that day and made it happen?
People forget, this DIDN'T happen in Mass!!!No. Changes nothing.

Here's two real brain teasers I don't recall seeing discussed yet in as few words:He had not announced himself as a Police Officer, so any REASONABLE person would assume it was a home invasion / prowler / insert bad guy here.
