-It was a 15-hour shift Guyger worked that day, not a 10-hour shift. That is a long shift.
-She parked on the fourth floor of the apartment building garage, not the third floor. Her apartment is on the third floor, Mr. Jean's was on the fourth floor. Is that the first step in her loopiness? Can you not take an elevator down to 3? There is a point to the Dallas cop telling the Morning-News that and I am wondering if that was the first of the indicia of impairment.
-The four floors of the South Side Flats in the Cedars look the same, with concrete floors and tan doors. A light fixture to the side of each door displays the apartment number.

That would be the second instance of possible impairment.
-Mr. Jean's door was not locked. Guyger put her key in and the door opened because it was not locked.
-"Guyger didn’t notice that Jean's door had a red doormat in front of it, the official said. Her entrance didn’t have one."
Now, if I were a homicide attorney for thirty-three years, and I am, that would be a big red mat of an indicator that Ms. Guyger's elevator did not go all the way to the top.
Missed it.

-"The lights were out. She saw a figure in the darkness and thought her apartment was being burglarized, the official said." THAT is a good point for Guyger.
-"Guyger pulled her gun and fired twice."
Wait...Nothing in between "dark"..."figure in the darkness"...thought "burglar" and "shoot"? No "WHO'S THERE?!" No "POLICE! No, LEMME SEE YOUR HANDS!" No "DON'T MOVE! and turn the lights on? Just "dark," "figure," thought "burglar"..."shoot?" That is NOT a good point for Guyger.
whensheturnedonthelightssherealizedshewasinthewrongapartment. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. DID SHE TURN THE LIGHTS ON BEFORE OR AFTER SHOOTING MR. JEAN?!
Guyger, who was still in uniform, put her key in the door, which was unlocked, and the door opened, the official said. The lights were out. She saw a figure in the darkness and thought her apartment was being burglarized, the official said. Guyger pulled her gun and fired twice.
When she turned on the lights, she realized she was in the wrong apartment. Jean, who worked for PricewaterhouseCoopers, was shot once in the chest.
Manslaughter point. BAD for Guyger.
Guyger called 911 crying, the official said. She repeatedly said, “I thought it was my apartment” and apologized to Jean.
Obviously sincere emotion. Obviously, sincerely manslaughter, too.
Ms. Guyger, you were not taught in the academy to shoot first and apologize later, were you?
Ma'am, you were in FULL POLICE UNIFORM!
YOU ARE ARMED LIKE A WARRIOR!
VEST? I bet.
MACE/PEPPER SPRAY! Standard equipment.
KEL-LITE! Standard gear.
TAKE COVER BEHIND THE DOOR AND GIVE COMMANDS!
MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE FUCKING BRIGHT RED DOOR MAT!!!!!!!!!!!
MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THE BRIGHTLY ILLUMINATED APARTMENT NUMBER SIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAYBE YOU WOULD HAVE REALIZED YOU WERE A FUCKING HOMICIDAL, TRIGGER-HAPPY RETARD!!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS THE FUCKING MATTER WITH YOU?!!!!!
Sincerely Ms. Guyger, were you on drugs or alcohol?
Mr. Jean didn't have a weapon, you didn't claim he had a weapon and I guess you and your buddy cops forgot to bring a throw-down, this was not a "necessary" shoot, YOU WERE COMPLETELY IN THE WRONG.
“I’m so sorry,” she can be heard saying on the recording of the 911 call, the official said. Police arrived within four minutes.
We know you are, Ms. Guyger. We believe everything you said, all the sincere emotion you expressed. Honestly, truly, we do. It's worthless; honestly, truly, it is worthless. Let's always be friends.
A video taken by someone at the apartment complex shows Guyger in the hallway crying and pacing with a phone to her ear.
Very too bad, Ms. Guyger, but you know, you came out of this better than Mr. Jean did. He can't cry. When you finish your prison sentence you will be able to cry and Mr. Jean will still be dead.
