Decision to shoot Botham Jean was a crime

Sharon Grigsby, Metro columnist

... an off-duty Dallas cop staged a deadly home invasion — only, by her account, she thought it was her home that had been invaded ...

... Whether or not he led a near-perfect life and had a sterling character matters not one bit. Every time an unarmed civilian is killed by a cop, the social fabric frays a little further ...

As crazy as her story sounds, it may be true ... If she believed she was at her apartment, she literally might not see evidence to the contrary — like the apartment number on the wall or an unfamiliar red doormat.

But that doesn’t lessen her responsibility ...

4. Well written.. this is new info to me..

Even the scenario most sympathetic to Guyger — she was off duty, she parked on the wrong floor of the parking garage, she thought she was entering her own apartment, the door was unlocked and lights were out — doesn’t give her license to be so quick on the trigger.

Previous information stated Guyger was struggling with her key when Bo Jean opened the door.

Thank you, struggle
