2:32Now PlayingA Dallas County jury sentenced Amber Guyger to 10 years in prison for the fatal shooting of Botham Jean.
Closing arguments in the punishment phase took place Wednesday afternoon and wrapped up just after 2:30 p.m. Guyger, a former Dallas police officer, was convicted of murder on Tuesday. She shot and killed her upstairs neighbor, 26-year-old Botham Jean, in his own apartment last year. She testified she mistook Jean’s apartment for her own and thought he was a burglar.
Defense attorney Toby Shook said “every murder is different” and urged the jury to give a shorter prison sentence.
He said the prosecution was trying to paint Guyger as a racist with her texts sent during a Martin Luther King, Jr. parade.
“I’ll ask you to look at her whole life,” Shook said, asking them to not be focused on texts.
He recapped stories about Guyger reaching out to a drug addict and her friendship with a co-worker at a restaurant. That co-worker told a story about her going out of her way to help her when she had a baby.
