Ex-Cop Found Guilty of Murder After Shooting unarmed Botham Jean in His Own Apartment
The former Dallas cop who fatally shot an unarmed black man in his own apartment has been convicted of murder.
The jury in Amber Guyger's trial delivered their verdict Tuesday morning after beginning their deliberations Monday. Cheers erupted in the hallways of the courthouse as the verdict was announced.
The jury will reconvene to decide her punishment. She could face life in prison.
Guyger had fatally shot Botham Jean on Sept. 6, 2018 after coming home from work and walking into his apartment that she said she mistook for her own.
Her lawyers argued that she simply made a mistake when she arrived at her apartment building after a 13-hour shift. They said a tired Guyger thought she was walking into her own apartment and mistook Jean for an intruder in her home. Therefore, they said, she shot him in self-defense.
Guyger wept on the witness stand as she testified at her trial, saying she feels like "a piece of crap" and repeating “I’m sorry."

Guess some people are not giving COPS a pass these days. As COPS are killing Black for mostly Trophy points.
