"Another senseless drug-related death" - The X-Police
Well, he definitely deserved to be shot dead in his own home then. /s
I hope the family just told their lawyer to up their price by $100 million.
Someone from the islands who might have consumed some Ganja? Shocked. Shocked I say.
Is the perp now going to claim that she busted into his home and shot him because she smelled some weed? Have they bothered to search her apartment and car to see what turned up?
It looks like this case meets the technical definition for murder in Texas. “intentionally or knowingly causes the death of an individual” but the just disposition is probably manslaughter. “A person commits an offense if he recklessly causes the death of an individual.”
Plead her to the Second Degree felony and some time inside.
A black dude who smoked weed? The horror!
Oh, he was a pot smoking black man. Does that make it alright to shoot him?
There was no reason to search his apartment or a search warrant granted. The police women committed the crimes, trespassing and manslaughter, not Botham Jean. This stinks. And I am pro law enforcement.
How long would it take a normal individual to realize that he-she is not in their own apartment?
There’s something suspicious about the whole thing.
I do not agree with pot use but this is ridiculous. It was in HIS HOME. His home was invaded by police officer, she gave him orders, then, when he did not comply, she murdered him in his home that she, the police officer, broke into. Murder.
This is completely out of line, what does this have to do with anything? He didn’t shoot anyone.
"Another senseless drug-related death" - The X-Police
Not sure why I need to know the contents of the apartment of man murdered by a cop.
The inventory return yielded:
2 fired cartridge casings
1 laptop computer
1 black backpack with police equipment and paperwork
1 insulated lunch box
1 black ballistic vest with "police" markings
10.4 grams of marijuana in ziplock bags
1 metal marijuana grinder
2 RFID keys
2 used packages of medical aid'
Odd list. Drugs could be from the cop.
Did they find the Child Porn on his Computer yet?
'An arrest affidavit for the off-duty Dallas police officer accused of killing Botham Jean contradicts a search warrant for his apartment. But police say evidence found at the scene confirms that Jean was across the room when he was shot.
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 officer within the police department told the Dallas Morning News that the search warrant was written before Guyger was interviewed.
“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.'
Let’s see if it takes 6 months to get back the toxicology tests as it did in the Prince case!!!
An attempt to ruin his reputation.
They should at least be consistent and leak the items found in the cop’s apartment obtained in the warrant. Wait - did they even get a warrant to search the cop’s apartment yet?

Good shoot........... /S
What ever moron thought this somehow made a good defense should be locked up too. They are too stupid to be out in public.
Shouldn’t they be searching the apartment of the killer instead of the victim?
