“I mean it lays out in everything that we know of to date that’s exculpatory for her,” the attorney said. “The units were identical. He ignored her commands. That’s not the way most charging instruments read.”

The information in the arrest affidavit presented as facts in the case come through a Texas Ranger from an interview either he or a colleague conducted with Guyger Friday evening after the shooting. The Texas Ranger says Guyger parked on the fourth floor thinking it was the third, which is her floor. She went to Jean's apartment directly above hers, inserted a unique door key with an electronic chip into the door key hole. She claimed the door was slightly ajar. She saw a large silhouette moving in the apartment and drew her firearm, gave verbal commands that were ignored and fired her handgun two times.

Henley is suspicious of the narrative's account even though it led to her arrest.

“What makes far more sense? That a person would have left his door open on top of all these other staggering coincidences? That she parked on the wrong floor? That she walked down the wrong hall? She entered the wrong door?” Henley said. “No, it seems far too convenient.”

Henley says like the case itself, the arrest affidavit is not the norm.

If the door was open then why would she try her key first?

Hopefully they aren't scared/intimidated into not testifying when the time comes.

[deuce king]

Was the county that the arrest warrant was written for a different county than the county the actual murder took place in?

Yes

 

[blastercombo]

Her story makes her sound like a ............... cop



****’em

 

[deuce king]

Yes

Thank you. I'm guessing she has another residence which is in the county the warrant was written for.

 

[hand2handking]

probably already thinking about jury selection lol

rather pick from the boonies than downtown

 

[addict4sneakers]

I can imagine her safety being in jeopardy if she got locked up in Dallas county as a cop

 

[Maximus Meridius]

What so crazy about all this is that the lack of accountability is why many ppl don't trust police. We know theres good and bad in everything, but when the bad cops get special protection at the expense of the civilians they are supposed to protect, then it makes the good cops indistinguishable and therefore we can't trust them at all. Abuse of power occured here when the officer murdered an innocent man in his home. And further abuse occurs in delaying and subverting justice from being fairly persued and executed.

These crooked *** police are held to lower standards than regular people (especially black) they can beat, murder innocent people and it's "well people make mistakes".


This is really some gangster **** what they do. They murder innocent black people then sell us some BS story that they know is unbelievable, it's like they're saying "Y'all will take this lie and do nothing about it".

EXCLUSIVE: Video showing how heavy metal fire doors automatically slam shut in building where white Dallas cop shot her black neighbor and apartment numbers are lit up in NEON contradict her story

• Police officer Amber Guyger, who fatally shot her black upstairs neighbor Botham Jean, claimed that his door was already ajar when she entered at 10 pm
• But video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com shows that the doors in the Dallas apartment building automatically slam shut if let go
• A second video shows Guyger could not have used her key to force open his door
• Apartment door numbers are also clearly visible and lit up in neon
• DailyMail.com can also reveal that Guyger had made noise complaints about Jean, 26, to the building management in the days before his death.

The white Dallas police officer who fatally shot her black upstairs neighbor claimed in her affidavit that his door was already ajar when she entered and that she shot him after he ignored verbal commands.

But video obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com with the aid of a neighbor living on the same floor shows that the doors in the Dallas apartment building are uniformly heavy metal fire doors that automatically slam shut if let go.

A door could only be left ajar if it had been deliberately positioned that way with a door stopper.

Further, as a second DailyMail.com video shows, officer Amber Guyger could not have used her key to force open the door of Botham Jean, whose funeral was held today, despite claiming to have done so in her statement to Texas Rangers.

At the very least she would have been warned that she was at the wrong door because the unique electronically coded keys used in the South Side Flats building flash red if inserted in the wrong door.

Botham Jean, 26, was shot dead by Officer Guyger in his apartment in south Dallas on Thursday night. Guyger said she entered the apartment thinking it was her own

The front door of apartment 1378, directly below Botham Jean's apartment and identified by neighbors as Amber Guyger's front door. The panel to the left of the door has the apartment number that is lit up in neon

Botham Jean was shot and killed by Dallas police officer Amber Guyger who accidentally went into Jean's apartment -No. 1478 - thinking it was her own, and claims she thought he was a burglar in her apartment - No. 1378. Door numbers are clearly visible and lit up in neon, placed to one side.

The neighbor, who lives two doors down from cop Amber Guyger, 30, but asked not to be named, said he did not believe the petite blonde would have been able to force her way in.

Pointing to his own heavy metal door, the same as both Jean's and Guyger’s, he said: ‘These are fire doors. You can’t really leave it open.

‘The key situation too – you can’t get into any place, you can’t. It’s impossible. You can put it in but you can’t open it.

‘You can put it into somebody else’s key hole but you can’t open anything. This key isn’t programmed for my door – if I put it in, nothing happens apart from this red light.’

In her statement to police, a version of which is included in an arrest warrant for Guyger seen by DailyMail.com, the 30-year-old claimed she had arrived outside Jean’s fourth floor apartment by accident.

She said she had parked on the fourth floor of the parking lot instead of the third and had gone to open the door of his apartment, assuming it was hers.

Photos obtained by DailyMail.com do show that the corridors on both floors appear similar but Jean’s apartment had a red semi-circular door mat outside, while Guyger’s did not.

Apartment door numbers are also clearly visible and lit up in neon, placed in a panel to one side of the door.

The funeral for Botham Jean was held today at the Greenville Avenue Church of Christ. Officials believe Guyger was confronted by Jean, who pulled her gun on him and fired - but the explanation for her entering his apartment is full of holes

According to Guyger’s statement, Jean’s door had been left slightly ajar and opened when she forced her key into the lock.

Her statement is at odds with initial reports of the incident and with statements made by neighbors to the Jean family’s attorney S. Lee Merritt who said they heard her banging and shouting: ‘Let me in, let me in.’

Another neighbor, a Costa Rican woman who also asked not to be named, said: ‘People say they heard her knocking and that doesn’t make sense.

‘I guess he must have opened the door and she saw a black man inside what she thought was her apartment and so she went ahead and shot him.’

Once inside, Guyger claimed in her statement that she thought Jean was a burglar and shot at him twice – hitting him once, fatally, in the chest.

Video of the immediate aftermath shows her pacing the corridor and screaming, ‘Oh my God’ repeatedly.

Guyger turned herself in to Kaufmann County police on Sunday evening – three days after the fatal shooting – and has now been charged with manslaughter and released on a $300,000 bond.

She has so far declined to answer calls placed by DailyMail.com.

DailyMail.com can also reveal that Guyger had made noise complaints about Jean, 26, to the building management in the days before his death.

Her neighbor, a Hispanic man in his mid-20s, said she had been cross about him making noise early in the mornings.

He said: ‘She filed a noise complaint earlier on in the day which said that he had been making noise before she leaves for her shift.’

The family lawyer Merritt confirmed his account in an interview with CNN, telling the channel: ‘The only connection we have been able to make is that she was his immediate downstairs neighbor.

According to Texas Ranger David Armstrong's affidavit, Guyger inserted 'a unique door key, with an electronic chip, into the door key hole. The door, which was slightly ajar prior to Guyger's arrival, fully opened under the force of the key insertion.'

Guyger's booking record, which was removed in less than an hour when she made bail, is seen

‘And there were noise complaints from the immediate downstairs neighbors about whoever was upstairs, and that would have been Botham.

‘In fact, there were noise complaints that very day about upstairs activity in Botham’s apartment. Botham received a phone call about noise coming from his apartment from the downstairs neighbor.’

According to Guyger’s neighbor, the building’s walls are soundproofed while the ceilings are not – a potential cause for conflict.

‘We can hear when somebody opens the door. You can’t really hear anything through the walls but you can definitely hear when somebody knocks or opens the door.

‘Sometimes I can hear the people above me every once in a while, that’s all I ever hear. The only thing I can think of is I can just hear people running but this guy [Jean], he didn’t seem like the kind of guy who’d be running around up there.

‘I don’t know what the noise complaint would be – I can’t hear the TV [from above], I don’t hear anything like that.’

Guyger had been living in the South Side Flats apartment complex for just over a month prior to the incident.

The block, which contains 288 units over five storys, was built in 2015 and includes a mixture of studios and one and two bedroom apartments.

Prices at the block, in Dallas’ rapidly gentrifying South Side area, start at $945 per month, rising to $2,435. The Dallas Police Headquarters on Lamar Street is directly next door.

It is unclear how long Jean, a graduate of Harding University in Arkansas, had lived in the block but both he and Guyger appeared to have good relationships with their neighbors.

One told DailyMail.com that Guyger had been ‘real nice’ while another said she appeared to live a very normal life.

The man said: ‘She pretty much does the same thing I do – go to work, come home and sit on the balcony and have a cool beer and that’s about it.’

Another resident on the same floor as Guyger said: ‘I’d always say hi to her and she’d always say hi back but we didn’t speak much.

‘She was friendly enough but we were always rushing out when we met each other so I can’t say for sure.’

Guyger is currently believed to be staying with her sister Alana in a different part of town, while she waits to find out if she will face further charges.

Jean is due to be laid to rest on Thursday afternoon, with the funeral due to be held at the Greenville Avenue Church of Christ in Richardson, Texas.

Door number lit up in neon and the red mat should have been enough for her to realize it wasn't her apartment.

Dallas Police Officer’s Arrest Affidavit Contradicts Search Warrant for Victim’s Apartment

Surveillance video obtained by WFAA shows police officer, Amber Guyger, being booked into the Kaufman County Jail three days after she fatally shot Botham Jean.

DALLAS -

An arrest affidavit for the off-duty Dallas police officer accused of killing Botham Jean contradicts a search warrant for his apartment.

Amber Guyger, 30, is charged with manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Jean, 26, on Sept. 6. She told police she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own and opened fire because she believed Jean was an intruder.

An arrest affidavit released Monday says Guyger’s apartment is directly below Jean’s at the South Side Flats, 1210 South Lamar.

The affidavit, written by Officer David L. Armstong of the Texas Rangers, is based on what Guyger told the officer happened. It says she “inserted a unique door key, with an electronic chip, into the door key hole. The door, which was slightly ajar prior to Guyger’s arrival, fully opened under the force of the key insertion.”

It then says that the door being opened alerted Jean to Guyger’s presence. It says Guyger described the apartment as being dark and she thought “she had encountered a burglar, which was described as a large silhouette, across the room in her apartment.”

Guyger drew her firearm, “gave verbal commands that were ignored by (Jean),” and then she fired two shots. Jean was shot once and died.

However, a search warrant written on Sept. 7 and signed by Judge Brandon Birmingham tells a different story.

“An off-duty Dallas Police Officer, who was wearing a full Dallas Police uniform, was attempting to enter apartment number 1478, with a set of keys,” it says. “An unknown male, inside the apartment, confronted the officer at the door. A neighbor stated he heard an exchange of words, immediately followed by at least two gunshots.”

While the arrest warrant describes Jean as being “across the room,” the search warrant says he confronted Guyger at his door.

The warrant was for the collection of evidence, including shell casings, bullets, firearms, ballistic vest, keys, possible video, any narcotics and and other trace evidence such as blood.

The warrant doesn’t say if investigators were looking for narcotics that Guyger possibly had, or if they believed they were in Jean’s apartment. Guyger’s blood was drawn to test for drugs and alcohol, Dallas police Chief Renee Hall has said.

The arrest warrant also doesn’t include witness statements — which Lee Merritt, an attorney for the Jean family — pointed out on Monday.

Merritt said that two witnesses, who are sisters and residents of the apartment complex, gave statements that contradict the arrest affidavit.

“One happened to be in a quiet room reading a book so she was in the best position to hear things,” Merritt said. “She heard pounding at the door. The other one (witness) was in the living room (of her own apartment) watching TV. She also heard the same pounding at the door.”

He said the key witness, who was reading the book, heard shouting.

“She heard, ‘Let me in!’ followed by ‘Let me in!’ in an elevated tone and then she heard more pounding at the door,” Merritt said. “Then shortly thereafter she heard gunshots.”

Guyger was arrested for manslaughter on Sunday evening and released about an hour later on a $300,000 bond.

Jean, who is from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, is a graduate of Harding University and worked at PwC in Dallas.

Of course they found some green....

It’s disgusting and disrespectful.

 

[wallyhopp]

Why would she be allowed to be booked into another county jail, one that is some 50% More white than the other? Shouldn’t she have been transported to downtown Dallas?

Even if dude was a serial rapist, at the time of his death, there was no reason for her to be there. That’s like an officer getting a dui as he accidentally runs over a drug dealer, and the city thanking him.

This will get ugly. Smear campaign. Planting evidence. Casting a shadow of doubt that maybe dude deserved to die for the jury. Yikes.
