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.

#AmberGuyger I heard on WFAA live chat the Defense had expert witnesses they were planning to testify and they were from out of town. They were to testify to Amber Guyger’s state of mind and Judge Tammy Kemp says they CAN’T go there.
#AmberGuyger Judge Tammy Kemp will allow Craig Miller’s testimony on inattentional blindness. She will not allow testimony about Guyger’s action being reasonable.
#AmberGuyger I can’t stand the arrogance of these old men like Craig Miller. He’s telling the court what HE thinks the jury should know. That’s NOT your job. Just give the testimony.
A fkn stepinfetchit. Armstrong was probably put on the case to find no crime committed and figured Black folks would accept it because he’s Black. Got dammit!
#AmberGuyger was ambushed in someone else’ home? Armstrong believed she thought Botham Jean was coming at her. FOH David Armstrong. Botham was IN his own home. Amber Guyger was the INTRUDER!
Marc Lipscomb is on the witness stand. Former resident of South Flats apartments
#AmberGuyger This Marc Lipscomb is so full of shyt. When he walked his dog, he left apartment door opened and on the way back went into someone else’ apartment. IIRC this dude got mixed up and was on the wrong floor 10-12 times.
#AmberGuyger WFAA’s Tanya on live chat is bringing up if Botham Jean was coming at Amber Guyger! It was Botham Jean’s own house. Amber Guyger was the intruder!
Defense arguing for David Armstrong’s testimony to come in about Guyger’s state of mind. It AIN’T happening. Judge says he’s no expert. And Judge is not going to allow testimony Botham Jean was 13-14 ft from door when he was shot based on where a pair of flip flops were because there were several pair of shoes in the room. It wasn’t proven what pair of shoes he was wearing.
#AmberGuyger on her phone while Botham Jean lay dying on his living room floor. Crime scene analyst Robyn Carr testified in court there were no injuries on Guyger and no blood on her uniforms. The gloves she had went unused.
Here’s another one. I’m wondering if the killer’s social media postings will be evidence in the trial. My prediction is that she will take the stand and cry a river (same as Johannes Mehserle, BART cop who killed Oscar Grant), to try to stay out of prison. https://twitter.com/shaunking/status/1040618672065261568

Well, her handlers have obviously told her to show remorse. Juries like to see remorse.
But when I look at her scrunched up face pretending to cry, it just enrages me.
I really hope she gets the prison sentence she deserves and then she can cry for real.

Well, so much for theory that body cams and training can turn a bad cop into a good cop. These PD’s need to get better at HIRING and FIRING. Police Departments in this country are housing some mighty bad people and we may as well face that, otherwise the problem is never solved.
It’s not a few “bad apples.”
