A Texas court is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday on overturning the conviction of a former Dallas police officer who was sentenced to prison for fatally shooting her neighbour in his home.

An attorney for Amber Guyger and prosecutors are set clash before an appeals court over whether the evidence was sufficient to prove that her 2018 shooting of Botham Jean was murder.

More than two years before Floyd's death set off protests across the country, Guyger's killing of Jean drew national attention because of the strange circumstances and because it was one in a string of shootings of unarmed Black men by white police officer. Jean, a 26-year-old accountant, had been eating a bowl of ice cream before Guyger fired. She was later fired from the Dallas Police Department.

she was on the wrong floor and wrong apartment and shot a black man who was rightful occupant and unarmed and surprised by this vile cop with a gun

How US respond to stranger in home: kill him!! How normal people respond

She murdered an innocent man in his own home, wile he thought he was safe, eating ice cream. He wasn’t even doing anything to provoke a armed response! 10 years wasn’t enough!!!

Just, fyi Ctv. 'Finding the door ajar, she entered and shot him, later testifying that she through he was a burglar.' Shouldn't' that be thought? Yeah, yeah, I know, I make mistakes too, but I'm not a profession media company lol. I take it you just reprint the original article

I live eat and breathe news. It's amazing the stories from the US CTV decides to cover. It all falls in line doesn't it.

Wait all she got was 10 years. She should count herself lucky that it wasn’t the death penalty in the one state that has basically built an express lane to the electric chair.

🎶 Won’t you [not] be my neighbour🎶
