JUST IN: Amber Guyger, the former Dallas police officer accused of killing an unarmed man in his apartment, has taken the stand in her own defense.
The former Dallas police officer accused of killing an unarmed man in his apartment took the stand in her own defense on Friday.
Before Jean could take a few steps toward the door, Guyger leveled her gun and fired twice, Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Jason Hermus said. Hermus said Guyger's apartment was directly beneath Jean's fourth-floor unit. Not only did Guyger mistakenly park on the wrong floor of the complex, she walked down a long hallway, passing 16 different apartments but failed to realize she was not headed to her front door, Hermus said.
Defense attorney Robert Rogers said in his opening argument that Guyger was exhausted from working 40 hours in four days, including a long overtime shift helping a SWAT team arrest three robbers.
