Not a lot of info on this one yet. But let's say you somehow walk into the wrong apartment and shoot someone because you truly believe your life is in danger. Is there any way to honestly argue self defense when you shoot the rightful occupant of the apartment?

Not looking so good for the officer unless she can say he was coming at her aggressively and left her no choice.. but then again she was in his castle..

How exactly does one just walk into the wrong apartment at 10:00 at night?
This one smells fishy and I don't think it's the chicken.

Funny how the cop doesn't get held and still gets paid for mistakenly going into another's home and shooting and killing the occupant. And they say they don't get preferential treatment. Anybody here want to try this and see how it plays out? At least she went home safe, that's what really counts. Good shoot, F'ck-Up.

Apparently the front door must have been wide open in order for the officer to get in but I would love to hear how she mistook that unit to be hers....

I can’t waitvto hear the rest of this story,,,her defense?

Well, hell! This one is easy to explain.

It says that she worked a full shift. There it is.

If she only worked a half day I'd be suspicious as hell. But how can anyone be expected to go around walking into their correct domicile and NOT shoot somebody after working a FULL shift? I mean, come on!
