Dallas officer kills man after mistaking his apartment for her own

Are they deputies or are they baliffs?

They are deputies of the sheriff's department assigned to the bailiff section. Almost all of them have worked the streets. Generally, the older looking guys are retired from other departments with tons of experience. Those old heads usually are "part time" only working when court is in session which forost courts is between 3-6 hours a day.

Given circumstances I would say that the deputies would have been foolish to intervene.

Yeah I don't dispute that especially with the media coverage, however, I know the general orders does not allow it. Like I said though they may just get an ass chewing.

[svauto-erotic855]

Yeah, that was quite the display by him.

On a side note that violated every general order I can think of and will likely get the deputies that allowed it sent to IA. They may not face any real discipline but they'll definitely hear about it. I remember a guy getting life in prison and his mother who was on Hospice was in the court room and the judge allowed him and her to give each other a hug and the two deputies got time off for it.

That is the SJW "civil rights" lawyer for the victim's family who is trying to keep racism alive.

Civil rights lawyer? The dude needs to stick to banging twinks.

[SS Junk]

Who in the hell is that? He looks like somebody from a gay porn movie that bangs a bunch of white twinks after blowing them.

In my opinion she would be a fool to appeal the decision. In all likelihood she will make her first parole because she's extremely unlikely to commit a crime in the future. If she's smart she will embrace the opportunity that the guy's brother handed her and become heavily involved in Evangelical proselytizing. She would be a superstar and quite successful at spreading the word of God while profiting at the same time.

The man's younger brothers words shocked me and I must say that he is a better man than me. I could not forgive or forget if I were in his shoes.

I prefer LTE.

I was thinkin the same thing.

It really depends on when you're sentenced and what laws are in effect at the time. The state legislatures like messing with things periodically and change the sentencing guidelines on a regular basis. In the past I know that 3g offenses required 85% of the time to be served before being eligible for release. That may not be the case any longer.

I can't remember all the criteria, but, I think the persons history and the final verdict play into it as well. Just because she's eligible doesn't mean that she'll get it though. I would expect her to get a few years longer.

The interesting question is going to be can/should she appeal? If she is successful in her appeal she would get a new trial where she would potentially get a longer sentence or receive a not guilty verdict. Seems like a pretty big gamble but the advantage would be if she win's on appeal it is likely because the lead investigator wasn't able to testify to it not being a crime in his opinion or because the change of venue was not granted. Either of those could easily of helped defense secure a not guilty verdict. I guess it will come down to the jury polling now that the defense attorneys can talk directly to the jurors.

She's eligible in 5 years.

3g offenses require serving 85% of the sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

[svauto-erotic855]

What does 3g stand for? I don't know the reference.

3G is a reference to the section of the criminal code in Texas dealing with violent crimes. Some 3g offenses aren't necessarily violent crimes but most violent crimes are 3g offenses. There are a couple of officers on this board that definitely have more familiarity with what is and isn't 3g and maybe they can explain it better than I can.

[BradM]

That's because he's better than you. We all are, Brad.

I've always known I was the lowest rung on the ladder.

I googled it and got this:

A*3G*offense is a special category offelony*offenses in*Texas*that requires a person serve at least half of their prison sentence before becoming eligible for parole. Additionally, a judge may not give a defendant straight probation for a*3G*offense without the recommendation of a jury after a trial.
