Did Guyger and Jean actually know each other? Is there documentation somewhere that they were friends, acquaintances, etc.? Did they have mutual friends?
If not, I see this is as a tragic accident, magnified by the racial inclinations and certainly not helped by the fact she was a cop.

did we ever get an answer on "can the Jury consider a lesser charge"? I had thought they could, but I tried looking online, and strangely can not fined anything on that. one would think that would be clear, considering its importance.
