Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger is on trial for murder after she fatally shot Botham Shem Jean on September 6, 2018.
Guyger was off duty but still in uniform when she went into Jean’s apartment at South Side Flats. She told investigators she believed she was walking into her own apartment and shot Jean believing he was an intruder.
Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

This just gets worse and worse. I feel so bad for the family and friends of Botham Jean. Sounds like he was a really good person. Being a good person, however, does not protect you when you inadvertently fall into the cross hairs of a killer.
Something is wrong here. There’s a story that only she knows. In my opinion, this whole thing just reeks of “thrill kill” because there was no other reason for her to kill him.

Premeditated. I believe she planned this.

There’s no way that twisted little POS didn’t know where she was, so that really should be enough to end the debate over her thinking she was in her own apartment.
