"Guyger was distracted on the night of the shooting, prosecutors argued, texting with her married police partner, with whom she had had sexual relations. They said she missed numerous signs in the hallway leading up to Jean's apartment indicating she was on the wrong floor."

"The trial was laced with dramatic, emotional moments, as attorneys played graphic body cam footage of police trying to resuscitate Jean and read explicit sexual messages between Guyger and her police partner."

Some weird circumstances. I didn't pay much attention to the trial.

Had she been drinking to get the apartment so wrong?

How in the world was she unable to unlock the door without the correct key?

Anybody know?

Her excuses was she was tired and confused from a 12 hour shift and he had left the door to his apartment unlocked.

Interesting. Mr. Owl and I were both surprised at the murder verdict, rather than the lesser charge of manslaughter. I wonder if the affair influenced the jury's decision to go for the greater charge?

CNN says you are wrong. "Between 2005 and April 2017, 80 officers had been arrested on murder or manslaughter charges for on-duty shootings. During that 12-year span, 35% were convicted, while the rest were pending or not convicted, according to work by Philip Stinson, an associate professor of criminal justice at Bowling Green State University in Ohio."

While that is low the studies show that white police officers are less likely to shoot minorities than minority police.

Whatever the reason, this couldn't have helped her case. The old "I'm not a racist, but..." defense.

"When a white ex-Dallas police officer recounted her thinking as she fired the two shots that killed an innocent black man in his own living room last year, she told a jury it was fear, not racism, that drove her to pull the trigger. “This is not about hate,” she testified in court Friday. “It’s about being scared.”

But after a jury convicted Amber Guyger, 31, of murder on Tuesday, prosecutors introduced text messages sent by the former officer that show her making offensive statements. In the texts, Guyger jokes about Martin Luther King Jr.’s death, mocks her black colleagues and discusses a dog that her friend warns “may be racist.”

“It’s okay.. I’m the same,” Guyger wrote back about the dog, just days before she fatally shot 26-year-old Botham Jean in his Dallas apartment on Sept. 6, 2018. One minute later, she texted again: “I hate everything and everyone but y’all.”

I think the whole thing is incredibly sad. One act of stupidity has ruined two lives and damaged many more.

I think Guyer behaved in an unreasonable, unsafe and unprofessional manner and though I don’t believe she is an inherently bad person she will pay a steep price for her incompetence.

I don’t get any gratification from this. Let justice be done and may it be proportional to the act but this waste of two valuable lives is nothing but sad for everyone concerned.

An act that is the culmination of a lot of incidents and complications. She had a gun, he did not. If he were a criminal, she could have arrested him using her policey powers. She just shot him as he laid on a couch. Yeah, there is a real problem with nap thieves, breaking in and sleeping on your couch. They must be executed where they lie.
