If it makes you feel any better, I also lost a child and when I found her dead my instinct was not CPR and I knew how to do it. My instinct was to call 911. I was alone and had to make that decision and when I returned her grandpa walked in and was doing it. I did not take over because at that point I couldn't think straight, the whole situation was absolutely surreal but then again that's probably mostly due to the fact that I loved her and I was in shock. She was my child. A couple of minutes later the first responders took over. I can tell you I see it as very comforting that others who could handle it did do it because I know she got their true effort since I am not sure how well I would have done it given the circumstances.
What I understand now is why other people like to say that something would never happen to them, or they would've done something differently. It is self-preservation. If you come to the realization that "there but for the Grace of God, go I", then you would live your life in fear of everything like I do now having realized it could be me because it was once me.
Watch Live: Former Cop Amber Guyger on Trial in Alleged Murder of Botham JeanI'm not finding any coverage. Does anyone have a link? TIA
Likewise, Im sorry for your loss I couldn't imagine. Love and hugsThank you for sharing your story @ReadyorNot . I am very sorry for your loss.
Prosecutor is exceptionally smart to argue to remove the lesser charges from the jury based on AG testimony that she intended to kill him. Super if he gets that through!
Is that photo on the stand supposed to be Botham Jean? Does anyone else find it to be deceivingly whitewashed?
He argued to remove manslaughter based on her admission on intent. He is correct in that if they believe she would be guilty of the lesser charge, her intent would automatically rise to the level of murder and giving the additional option would confuse the jury and allow a miscarriage of justice by sentencing her to the lesser charge when she was guilty of the heavier sentence.So then the jury would have only murder or acquittal??? is that right? i don't like it.

But if they don't want to sentence her to murder- she will walk? the defense just needs one juror to hang----i would rather see a lesser sentence than no sentence
Yes that is a photo of Mr. Jean and the prosecution placed it there during opening statements. It doesn’t appear to be altered or manipulated,if that’s what you mean. IMO when I watch the live feed, it seems there is an overhead light glaring on it.what do you mean by whitewashed?
AG went on a cruise last year, after that she had to give up her passport and was told to stay within the state of Texas.
Wow so judge is basically allowing the jury to have instruction that says if they believe she was mistaken then they can acquit.
