    Pay attention to what she said on the dispatch recording, "I'm going to lose my job." This is not someone who's concerned about the victim, but concerned about how her actions was going to affect herself and not the victim.

    My goodness, the first officers on the scene did all they could to revive him, the rushed in and got right to it. She greeted them with “I thought it was my apartment” they had to ask her where the victim was, she was so concerned with herself saying right here but thought it was my apartment. I like how the officer Lee told her to go back, he wasn’t concerned with excuses at the moment, he was watching his partner and preparing to help render aid to the victim.

    She worked a long shift that day 13 hours plus but then was planning and going out with her police officer lover. She wasn't that tired.?
  • @djean90
    Out of sheer guilt alone, I would plead guilty.
  • @kaz07050
    I getting so tired of this. You want me to believe she is so tired that her eyes doesn't work, her brain doesn't work, her keys doesn't work, but her gun does and her aim. GTFOH
  • The amount of times she repeated “I thought it was my apartment” she could have been rendering aid to this poor man who’s laying on the floor suffering while she’s creating a defense. It’s so many holes in her story. She said his apartment was pitch dark but when police got there his tv was on. He didn’t get any help until other offers showed up. What a shame. We are not even safe in our own home.
  • She should have been taken into custody immediately. Why was she allowed to text and walk around like she was the victim?
  • EVEN IF HE DID COME AT HER! HE HAD A RIGHT TO STAND HIS GROUND IN HIS HOME, NOT HERS DIDN'T HE?
  • As soon as I seen a red mat I would have known it wasn’t my apartment
  • @ayuanatates1773
    She knocked on his door, killed him, put her keys in to cover her story of she thought it was her apartment. Shes lying
  • Just don’t see how a person could be texting and talking after shooting someone by “accident”. Seem to me she was more concerned about herself & Job than Botham. I pray that he gets justice.
  • How sad to hear that portion of the 911 call at the beginning. Oddly, Not One word about the welfare of Mr. Jean from the dispatcher. Not one question on whether he was even breathing, now even during those awkward moments of silence, before Guyger started chanting her defense. Two professionals who did not follow normal civilian protocol in aide to a trauma victim. THEY let Bothem Shem Jean BLEED OUT! Two Tax Fund Trained Emergency responders who responded to Blue Line code and not to normal procedures. And Everybody knows the EMS Firefighters are Normally first on the scene. Yet, the officer got to Guyger and Rivera quick. And still no questions about the victim. SMDH over and over. Especially, since I can't seem to get those little slapping sounds I heard when that pretender kept calling Bothem Shem Jean "Bud" out of my head. Extremely disturbing visual. Very short on Defence questioning leaves me less than hopeful. And I'm equally weary of Kemp. DPD Chief, Dallas D.A., Texas Ranger, .... I would have been Surprised if that had done anything less than throw the ball in our court. You see they Did Not Allow that Jury to be All Black? Games😔😳
  • @sherriebeck4389
    Self defense in HIS home where HE pay rent ??? 😳. Are you serious. Wow 😮
  • The commentating judge is on Guygers side. He said it was heartbreaking listening to her on the 911 call! It was heartbreaking listening to her NOT DO CPR, or anything to help Mr. Jean, except to say “ hey bud” a few times! What a waste of skin she is!
  • @teeynggod2168
    She has suffered enough put it out of it's misery and send it to prison, she with no value of human life no matter the color of there skin, ethnic etc. She Should've known better as an officer, but then again look at all the cops that got away free with murder.
  • @marcosmota1094
    Sooo...Botham broken in, served himself ice cream, turned on his TV, and his laptop, then stripped to his white shorts. Riiight Amber, we believe you.
  • @donna9195
    How in in the heck could she mistake that man's apartment for her own? He had a red welcome mat in front of his door. (she didn't)
