Amber Guyger's claim that she believed she was in her own apartment when she fatally shot a neighbor in his home was absurd, a prosecutor said during closing arguments at her murder trial.
A former Dallas police officer’s claim that she believed she was in her own apartment when she fatally shot a neighbor in his home was absurd, a prosecutor said during closing arguments at her murder trial Monday.
Assistant Dist. Atty. Jason Fine told the jury that Amber Guyger was “an intruder” in Botham Jean’s home when she killed him last September.that she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own after a long shift. Speaking publicly for the first time about the events of that night, she said she found the door of what she believed was her apartment unlocked and was afraid that someone had broken in.
Guyger should have known she was in the wrong apartment, Fine said Monday, calling her claims “absurd” and “garbage.”Defense attorney Toby Shook said Monday that Guyger made “a series of horrible mistakes” that were entirely understandable. He noted that other residents had also gone to the wrong apartments in that complex.In her testimony Friday, the 31-year-old Guyger, who is white, repeatedly apologized for killing Jean, a black accountant from the Caribbean island nation of St.
Prosecutors said Jean was unarmed and eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream in his living room when Guyger killed him.
