GUILTY TX - Former Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger, indicted for Murder of Botham Shem Jean #6

BBM: JMO and MOO -- but that is what I think also.

Remember when AG testified ? I was taken aback by the Judge's emotions.

MOO

I posted about the Judge's emotions at the time AG testified and broke down. This morning, it was obvious that she was very emotional as soon as she came into the courtroom. I believe if I were AG, I would request the Judge sentence me. May be too late though.

I’m guessing 25-50 years the jury will give. Just speculating

Interesting chatter on Court TV- one of the attorneys said she was convicted (and I quote) "for being a ding-a-ling"-- no sir: she was not convicted because of that: she was convicted because she murdered a man who was not a threat AND SHE LIED ABOUT IT IN HER TESTIMONY---- there of course are other reasons, only the jury knows exactly why they came down with murder- but she did admit intending to murder him as well.

You can tell they attorneys at Court TV feel kind of sorry for her---

I think a sentence of 10-15 years would be appropriate.

Hello,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I heard Judge say 1:00 p.m., and WFAA said 1:00 p.m.

I will try to clarify.

TIA.

1pm CST

Will probably happen this afternoon

I don't think so...there will be victim impact statements etc. This is a decision just as important as the verdict...I think this phase will take a day or two

SOME people, you mean. I am "people" and I am horrified this was ever charged as a murder given all the case law, precedents and judicial opinions. I would have been pleased with no criminal charges and leave the case in the civil court for wrongful death. The murder charge was totally political and nothing in the presented prosecution case supports it IMO. All MOO.

It was a little more than political. My castle remains MINE.

Will anything less than life w/o parole Be accepted?

 

[SuziQ]

And justice for a man who was wrongfully executed in his apartment by a trigger happy and aggressive person. That's a good thing I think for our nation.

Her mugshot tells me a lot. She is a mean, and angry person.

It does kind of worry me, while I agree with the verdict, that the family's loud outburst will affect how the jury chooses the length of her sentence.

Hello,

BBM: Oh, I hope not! It's been a long year waiting for Justice for Bo's family and friends.

JMO but I think an outburst would be normal - for both sides - again, JMO.

 

[grammieto5]

She can also just go and kill herself somewhere before sentence can be imposed. I'm surprised she was released.

Yes, that was my first thought when I read she walked out.

 

[sloane7777]

My comments weren't intended to take anything away from Bo's family.

I know , I just don't feel bad for her I think she was angry her Man ( well someone else's man) was not coming by and she took it out on Bo ...it very well could have been the maintenance man she didn't know .

But the law in TX clearly provides for these charges. I would be horrified if she wasn't charged at all.

She had a defense but the jury rejected it.

To not charge someone for anything at all after they break into another person's Castle and execute them because they were unreasonably distracted despite training and the responsibility that comes with carrying a loaded weapon- that would be an insane travesty. How would you feel if it was your son killed like that?

 

[sloane7777]

There was speculation that she had gone on a cruise sometime after being charged. I don't know if that was proven.

it was ! she took a nice cruise.

 

[turaj]

the interview with Jean supporters at courthouse indicated they plan a "celebration" tonight on the steps...I am not sure that is a good idea and I assume that the jury could see this depending on timing...I also did not like all the clapping...I did not hear Judge Tammy give any strong warning before the verdict was read. This can impact remaining decisions of the jury. If I were AG's attorneys...I would be addressing this and getting things under better control. AG has been now made a poster child for all the sins of the Dallas PD...I do understand that her family probably sees it that way.

 

[Wishbone]

it is nothing to celebrate. It is a tragedy on both sides.

It's justice. IMO a killer was found guilty of murder.

 

[turaj]

it was ! she took a nice cruise.

i saw that records from Royal Caribbean to view passenger lists. I never saw any CONFIRMATION that she was on one of their ships. Does anyone have such evidence. I think this may have been a rumor.
