I can already imagine her attorneys trying to draw sympathy: "This dedicated officer had a long shift serving the citizens of Dallas. She made an error in judgment because of the amount of fatigue she was feeling at the time. The outrage of the family isn't without reason, but I ask that you really consider everything in this case before making a rash decision. Would you be able to sleep at night knowing you had a hand in putting a woman who's served and protected the city behind bars? We all make mistakes, but the good should outweigh the bad."
Jurors gonna eat that shyt up. She'll likely cry on the stand, too.
