Judge sequesters jury in trial of former Dallas officer who shot black neighbour

[Haggis for Breakfast]

11. On the phone call, she can be heard telling the dispatcher

that she's afraid she's going to lose her job. She says this repeatedly, when she should be trying to assist Jean as he lay dying on the floor.

I don't see how she could have mistaken his apartment for hers in the first place. He had a mat outside his door and flower near it. Obviously it wasn't her apartment. Neighbors said they heard shots, but no conversation at all between her and Mr. Jean, so did she even say anything to him or just open fire ?

I think the reason the jury has been sequestered is to maintain the integrity of the trial as far as possible.

She shot this man in cold blood. He was unarmed, sitting in his own home, minding his own business, when she shot him. If you aren't safe in your own place, then where in the hell are you safe ? She MUST be convicted. There will be no peace in Dallas if she walks.

I lived in Miami when Arthur McDuffie was beaten into a coma (and died as a result) by cops, who were then acquitted. Riots broke out and Miami burned. Eighteen people died and hundreds of thousands of dollars in property damage followed.

I was living in California when Rodney King was beaten to a pulp (and into brain and cardiac damage which eventually contributed to his death) by the LAPD, all of which was caught on TAPE, and when they were acquitted, riots broke out (lasting for a week) and LA burned. Fifty people died, thousands were injured and over $1 billion in property damages ensued.

Dallas is right to be weary of how this verdict goes and does NOT want this to be their legacy as well.
