While the 28-year-old gave his testimony in front of a jury Tuesday (September 24), he broke down in tears as he recounted the events that took place in the Dallas apartment complex on September 6, 2018,
reports NBC.
Judge Tammy Kemp appeared to get teary-eyed herself after the witness and jury left the courtroom. She was clearly emotional from Brown’s testimony about the night 26-year-old Botham Jean was killed, as shown in
a video shared on Twitter by NBC 5’s Larry Collins.
From inside his apartment, he could see Guyger on the phone, crying, and heard her say, “I went into the wrong apartment.”
“I thought it was my apartment,” Guyger could be heard saying repeatedly in the video,
NBC reports.
She then replied, “Top Left. Top Left,” when arriving officers asked where Jean was shot. His body can be seen lying on the floor in a pool of blood around his left shoulder.
Officer Lee testified that, at the time, Jean still had a pulse but was unresponsive.
The officer also testified, “If you open a door and realize someone’s inside, you have two choices: Presume you can safely reposition, or shoot and figure it out later.”
“He was really treated like an animal,” the deceased’s mother, Allison Jean, said after she first heard the 911 call in April,
CNN reports.
