Ex-Dallas cop Amber Guyger is found guilty of murder for shooting a man dead in his own apartment. More here:
DALLAS - A Dallas jury found former police officer Amber Guyger guilty on Tuesday of murder when she accidentally walked into a neighbor’s apartment thinking it was her own and shot him dead as he ate ice cream.
Guyger, 31, could face life in prison for the slaying. The jury on Tuesday began hearing testimony during the sentencing phase of the trial and is expected to begin deliberations on her sentence by Wednesday afternoon. Texas is among a handful of U.S. states where juries can decide on sentencing. Guyger, who had spent four years on the force before the killing, took the rare step of testifying in her own defense during her trial, tearfully expressing regret for shooting Jean but saying she had believed her life was in danger when she pulled the trigger.
