    The door lock info may corroborate or disprove her story to some degree. IIRC it was reported that she said the door opened when she put her key in, indicating (since it was the wrong door) that it might have been unlocked or even open a bit. If the lock data shows the door was closed and locked, she has some more 'splaining to do. If the data shows she went to her own apartment first and then to Jean's, then she has some serious 'splaining to do. And if the data shows that Jean's door was unlocked, or that her key would have opened Jean's lock even though it was the wrong door, that shores up her version of the story. (The last occurs to me because I just had one of my UHaul customers take the right key, get in the wrong truck...and drive off.)

    I did that once in a hotel with the card key locks. Went to wrong floor walked to , say, 831 instead of 731. Opened the door and realized it wasn’t my room (no one in it!). Immediately went to my room....

    I booked a hotel downtown once and took my wife out. I had put some champagne and chocolate covered strawberries in there earlier in the day. After dinner and drinks at Nicky Blane’s we walked into the hotel since I said I needed the bathroom. I came out holding a key and said I bet I know whose room this is. She took the bet, I went to our room and went to open it. She freaked out because I was going to try to open someone’s door. Physically tried to stop me. Again, we just had some drinks. I manage to get the key in and open the door, she then stops to look inside and sees it’s really a room for us. Hah.

    I don't see it as a cop shooting either. It was a person who walked into what she thought was her apartment and shot what she thought was an intruder. Not saying that she was right, but it wasn't as if she was on the job checking the place for a suspect.

    This will be an interesting one to follow.

    Wait, what? Is she trying that old chestnut of a defense, "I was distracted by phone sex, so entered the wrong apartment and shot a guy."

    I swear the Chewbacca defense is more logical.

    Probably fearing life in prison, I'm sure you'd come up with any excuse you could think of

    OK........having lived in and been around many different apts. I would now if it was my place right off. Door locked/unlocked.....red flag from the get go. Having been completely smashed and finding my door. I call total :bs: on this entire thing.
    This chick has screwed the pooch.
