She didn't walk. she drove to the wrong level by car.

Thanks I didn't read that anywhere, but would you drive up and extra level?

Not notice the red door mat? Still if she was planning on going out it would be a weird time to shoot someone because of an ongoing neighbor dispute.

I know we have equipment that can tell if someone is lying 100% they just save it for secret services.

Guyger's attorneys also downplayed that she had been sharing sexually explicit text messages with her work partner and was on the phone with him just before the shooting, which was revealed in the opening of the trial. Prosecutors used those messages to make the case that Guyger was not as fatigued that day as the defense had claimed, and that Guyger intended to see her partner later that night.

Somehow I don't think it was an accident...her aim was perfect. I think there's a whole lot more to it than we will probably EVER know

One of the biggest problems I had with the defense is that they said she worked a long 13 hour day!

So what, many of us have done that without walking into a neighbors place and killing them.

No kidding. I've done 15- and 16-hr days....and never would have mistaken another's place for my own. I did, however, fall asleep at the wheel, waking up at the last second to avoid a head-on collision with a railroad gate. That put an end to those hours.

Something about this story seemed off to me. Almost like they had a relationship. I suspect they were banging and she got jilted and used that as a cover to kill the guy.

Exactly what I thought.

She had a taser and a radio on her belt. But what is the primary reaction to seeing someone who you think is in your apartment?

It's to say 'WTF are you doing, this is MY apartment?'. Or 'Why are you in my apartment?', or 'GET ON THE GROUND!', a command. But witnesses said they heard NO loud talking.

What is not a first response from an allegedly tired person is to rapidly deploy and fire two shots one of which hit directly over his heart.

The second response after seeing a strange person is to back out and call 911 it's not to run in and start putting lead downrange before you identify the person. It could have been maintenance or the landlord.

I'd have liked to see manslaughter, though, not murder. The defendant's lawyer made a mistake coaching her to say 'yes' if asked 'did you intend to kill Mr Jean? (pronounced 'John')'. She should have said 'no I just wanted to stop the threat'.

Big mistake in Texas where there's no need for intent to prove murder.

I don't agree with this verdict.

Seems to me this was an accident. manslaughter.

She point blank said she intended to kill him.

Can’t accidentally on purpose kill somebody.

Saw opening statements on court TV, an antenna channel. She parked on the wrong floor, passed every apartment sign that would show she was on fourth floor when she lived on the third. The door was unlocked, she locked her door that day. There was a red floor mat in front of the door, she has none on hers. The layout of the apartment is entirely different.

She was getting ready to receive a penis shot, based on her recent text messages, which completely absorbed her entire focus preventing her from noticing dozens of Indicators she was in the wrong place. They then showed and played audio of her trying to figure out how she can best get out of the situation while the man was bleeding out, rendering no aide.

She also repeatedly told the dispatcher she was in the wrong apartment.

Her texts dealer her fate I think.

This is a tragedy since the stupid cop didn’t mean to kill. I wonder how she got in. It seems the door was unlocked.

I have gone to the wrong apartment once in my life, though never beyond the front door

Sentence is 10 years in prison.

I can't shake the feeling they had some kind of previous interaction. An altercation, a fight, a dispute, something. You know something I've not heard from anyone is the fact that the first thing I notice walking into someone else's house, is the smell. Every house smells different, that would/should be an immediate tip off.

Well IIRC she tried her key, it didn't work, but then it was unlocked. And there's something about a red welcome mat. After all that, she proceeded to go in and "accidentally" kill the poor occupant. I don't know, it just seems like something else happened before said incident.

10 years for murder seems pretty small.
IMO

'I forgive you': Botham Jean's brother hugs Amber Guyger after she gets 10 years in prison

This would be tough to do after someone killed one of your loved ones, but in his victim-impact statement, the brother said he wished she didn't have to serve any time at all. Sad sad all the way around.

in some of the texts the killer and her partner were sending it said something about doing t6he red tonight

what color was the victims door mat? red

there is more going on here than meets the eye

a reply to: penroc3

Yeah definitely. Hell I, an untrained person, would notice immediately if I was in another person's apartment. I've lived in an apartment before, and that's when I still drank, never did such a thing.

I doubt it. This case will be appealed and she will be found guilty of manslaughter, and released on her own recognizance with maybe 1 year of probation.

If she does serve any time it will be in some candyass detention facility with a swimming pool and volleyball courts where she can socialize with Hillary when they decide to "lock her up"

Or else get that "Epstein jail time" There are two distinct systems of justice in America.

There is more to this case than meets the eye....much more!!

That is the sentence today. New trial? Time will tell.
