Amber Guyger is on trial for killing Botham Jean in his own home on Sept. 6, 2018. More information is coming out about her mindset, especially her social media posts that she quickly deleted.
Lee Merritt, who is the family attorney for the Botham Jean, wrote on Twitter, “
The following post brags about her not stabbing someone:
The next deleted posts focuses on having the patience to not kill someone, which she saved:
Another post about shooting was saved as “quotes and inspiration.”
Another bizarre post about justice she saved to “law enforcement.”
On Sept. 6, Guyger said that following a long day on the job as a Dallas police officer, she implausibly mistook his apartment for her own and, after ordering Jean not to move, shot him twice before realizing the error of her ways. Her story was met with doubt because of a number of factors, especially her assertion that Jean’s door was ajar. Videos posted on social media by neighbors appeared to show that apartment doors in the building shut automatically, which seemed to indicate that Guyger was lying.
In addition to the inconsistencies in her alibis, which have changed several times, Dallas police, of which Guyger was a member for five years before being fired, appeared to be helping to cover up the shooting for their colleague. The department was accused of allowing Guyger enough time to scrub her social media accounts and get her story straight before turning herself in three days after killing Jean. It also gave Guyger enough time to move out of her apartment, which was never searched by police despite five warrants allowing them to do so.
We hope the family of Botham Jean gets justice. He would have been 28 years old on September 29.
