The show does an excellent job of presenting the details of the case quickly, by using the principles involved in both sides.
In this case, a female police officer was confused about which apartment she was entering. She thought she was entering her own apartment, but was actually entering and a nearly identical apartment directly above hers. She saw a man inside and in fear, shot him twice fatally.
I understand that she committed murder and it was probably due to poor training or ability to follow correct police procedures. But it was so obviously the result of a simple mistake, the kind that people can make from time to time, that I was dismayed that she received a sentence of 10 years.
