Her eight year old nephew witnessed the shooting.
If you watch the video I posted in post #5 you'll see at the end the cop-cam footage shows a gun that was allegedly in the victim's bedroom. The Castle Doctrine in Texas allows a homeowner to defend their home and property with lethal force.
A welfare check doesn't go like that video shows on the officer body-cam. He never announced himself. He pointed his flashlight into the window of the house without saying a word. He never announced himself prior to yelling the order , show me your hands, as he shot near simultaneously.
If she had a gun in her hand, who can blame her living alone in Texas? A light shines in her house window, the light proceeds around her property to another part of the house outside. If she was armed she had a right to be.
I don't think officers should ever be above the law. Nor for that matter should District Attorney's have Prosecutorial immunity.
There's an wrongly convicted widower in prison in Oklahoma right now who lost his re-trial that was granted based on ineffective assistance of counsel in his first one. Life! For the murdered his wife. The state's start witness the actual murderer and with motive walks free today.
I've known cops and prison guards that should be on the other side of the bars. From the look of that cop-cam footage that officer is one of those.
Again, God rest unto peace the soul of Atatiana Jefferson.
