What are the risks of charging it as murder or manslaughter and let the jury decide?

Mainly embarrassment and the possible end of your career if you either fail or succeed.

Cop says she thought was in her own apartment during the 911 call.  I believe her.  But the 911 call also makes it very very clear that she was very  concerned about losing her job or being punished.  At first she shows little to no remorse for shooting an innocent person, it is only after she realizes that if he dies she will be even more fucked that she seems concerned that he lives.

The trial of Ms. Guyger started yesterday, and is the main case being covered by Court TV if anyone wants to watch.  One item I heard yesterday in the opening statement by the defense was that the reason she was able to get into the apartment was due to the plate on the receiving part of the door frame sticking out a little so that the door didn't fully close automatically.  If this is proven to be correct, then that clears up some uncertainty about what initially happened, and how she was able to get in.

Claims to have performed CPR.  Yet no blood on her uniform.

She probably stood over him laughing, calling him n***** and masturbating.

Feel better?

Is that n***** with an "ER" or and "GA". The details matter...

No.

It is extremely obvious that even after she shoot him, she a callous disregard for his well-being and was solely concerned about the impact on her own career.

Are you suggesting she should be convicted of murder because of that?

[Spider-Dan]

She should be convicted for murder for entering an innocent man's apartment and killing him in cold blood.

The rest is just adding callous insult to injury.

Not for that specifically.  But this

She should be convicted for murder for entering an innocent man's apartment and killing him in cold blood.

Being she initially claimed to perform CPR, the fact that she didn’t calls into question the veracity of all of her other claims.

The fact she made no effort to save him is evidence that she has a disregard for the life of civilians.  And that disregard could be evidence that when she arrived at the apartment rather than wait outside the apartment, call for back up and arrest the intruder as her training mandated, she choose to enter the apartment with the intent to kill the intruder, and that is murder.

She must have put something between the body and her hands to keep the blood off, because while she was on her phone with 911, and while performing CPR, she admittedly managed to send two texts to her sexting buddy.

Does CPR help bullet holes ? i'm just wondering here how much that would help to begin with.

In this particular case it wouldn't have because she used hollow point bullets and there was major damage to arteries, however she DID NOT know the extent of the damage, which she admitted on the stand.  But to answer your question CPR could save a persons life even with bullet holes.  If your able to keep oxygen going to the brain until a person can get to a hospital it can be the difference between life and death.

guilty of murder.
