I just want to bring up one point that I see a back and forth on in the comments and add some clarification.
The reason manslaughter was the charge over murder. If the prosecution brought a murder charge she would be acquitted and set free and the defense could prove it in 5 seconds, her yelling tazer tazer tazer would bring doubt that it was an intentional killing and that is needed in a murder charge. With the manslaughter charge it is a open and closed case for the prosecution they do not have to prove it was intentional to win the case, only that it happened. Based on the video I watched it clearly happened.

Is this the woman who thought she pulled out her taser?
