The Guardian has reported Amber Guyger has been found guilty. Guyger is a white former police officer who shot a black neighbour in his own apartment.
On 6th September last year, Guyger shot and killed Botham Jean in his apartment in Dallas. Guyger has insisted before and during the trial that it was a mistake and that she thought that 26-year-old Jean, a St. Lucian student at the time, was an intruder and shot him in fear for her life.
Following the shooting last year she was fired from the Dallas police force and indicted for murder amidst public outcries for justice.
Extraordinary act of mercy: Brother of Botham Jean hugs and forgives Amber Guyger after 10-year sentence imposed.

Justice and America are 2 totally different words. I think she got 10yrs (means – out in about 5yrs), a hairdo from the ‘black’ female court sherieff and a big hug from the dead man’s brother in front of the sentencing jury.
White supremacists always find a way around justice in USA. For eg. they throw Crack addicts to rot in jail (Blacks), yet the heroin, meth addicts
(Whites) are “treated” for opioid addiction to the tune of $8 billion. White supremacy at its best.
Unfortunately that racist MUG / Murderer was only sentenced to a paltry 10 years in prison with a chance of parole in 5 years.
I have seen many instances of young African Americans being given far more stiffer sentences for lesser transgressions.
Ten to twenty years in prison for stealing $20 from a store or check cashing joint is not uncommon as prosecutors usually urge judges to throw the book at the under represented.
Stealing a steak from a grocery store or being in possession of a small amount of controlled substance has cost a great number of our young folks the prime years of their lives behind bars.
I guess the prison industrial complex was built to house a specific group of people. The mindset being it is easier to control us if you know where we are and what we are doing!!!
Also recorded, the judge gave the convicted murderer a nice long hug, and allowed the brother to do the same. An impartial judge would NEVER allow this mushy mushy stuff right before the jury and before they deliberate. It’s reported that the same judge is favored by the protectors of white supremacy, the Dallas white police union (there’s a white police union, a Black police union and a Latino police union in Dallas).
That woman was lying from the start. Check how she looks in the picture. Something is seriously wrong with mamselle.
Yes! Next one, justice for our Dominican young man killed in Anguilla.
Lets not get excited too fast! Lets wait for the sentencing phase. We all know how that usually goes!
“The case is now in the sentencing phase and jurors are hearing more evidence, including racially insensitive text messages Guyger shared. Omar Villafranca reports.”

Justice shall surely be served
In fact, she already looks more like a prisoner than police.
I didn’t buy this woman’s defence for one minute. Immediately after she murdered the guy, she kept repeating how she thought he was in her apartment. She was setting up her defence from the very get go. She knew exactly what she did and wanted to stage it as a mistake. The jury saw right through her.
I moved into my current house 16 years ago and soon after I moved in, I once went to my neighbour’s house who lived a few doors from me, thinking it was my home. That house looks almost exactly like mine. Although I walked toward the door, certain small hint quickly made me realize it was not my home and I turned around and went home. If there is a flaming red carpet at the front door that does not belong to you, that should be a huge clue that you were at wrong apartment. Then you take a step back, to verify where you are. That is particularly the case for a cop who is trained to look for visual cues.
Sorry lady, no reasonable person would buy your story.
A bigger justice will come when the Wrongful Death case come to trial. And I hope it happen in the near future.
Today the Dallas jury delivered justice and not for “just us” as has been the case time and time again when the police have been allowed to have trials by judge.
I could not imagine any other reasonable verdict, especially when considering the facts and circumstances of this tragic case.
May YAH bless and keep Mr. Jean’s family and friends who have lost their loved one and will have to deal with the emotional trauma of his murder.
Amen this is the day I was waiting for . Thanks that justice has been served
