What was it about the witness’s testimony that made him “key”?

Just watched most of his testimony now. He heard the shooting and described what he heard.

He seemed like a witness just doing his best to give an honest testimony. He said he'd just met Botham Jean that day for the first time. He broke down crying on the stand toward the end.

Botham Jean’s neighbor, who testified at Guyger’s trial, gunned down in Dallas

DALLAS (Gray News) - Joshua Brown, the neighbor of Botham Jean who testified for prosecutors at Amber Guyger’s trial, was shot and killed Friday evening at a Dallas apartment complex.

According to The Dallas Morning News, police found Brown on the ground near Dallas’ medical district after witnesses flagged officers down.

The 28-year-old suffered several gunshot wounds. Paramedics took him to Parkland Memorial Hospital where he passed away.

Investigators don’t have a description of a suspect, but witnesses told them they saw a silver four-door car rushing out of the parking lot.

Brown lived across the hall from Jean, who was shot and killed by Guyger in September 2018.

Did the shot come from the grassy knoll?

[umgud]

Either that or some place in Waco.

Evidently he had one.

Nice of him to show respect for the court by dressing up!

This reminds me of the first episode of The Wire.

Blue revenge?

It’s like dogs chasing cars, dp. Dogs are always thinking about chasing cars, but as they get older, they cannot be bothered to get up off the porch.

Something I have never heard; was the apartment door unlocked or did her key unlock it? Makes one wonder.

[HollyB]

Exactly and I agree. Plus, 10 years is a light sentence for taking another persons life.

The officer on the left looks like she just came from shooting a Robert Palmer video.

That’s what it sounds like, but no one is saying.

The door lock was broken and did it close. So it was ajar when Amber came “home”.
She walked up to what she thought was her apartment and found the door partially opened. Just added to the confusion.
Bad deal all around.
You couldn’t pay me enough to visit that area.

I personally think she screwed up but for there to be a crime I thought their had to be intent to commit a crime so she was screwed by the court system.

She stated, on the stand, under oath, that she intended to kill whoever it was inside her apartment before she opened the door. I've carried every day for the past 19 years, and I can assure you, that is not a responsible mindset in that situation.

Second Degree murder only requires that your actions were without regard to the consequences.

Just note, there are no degrees of murder in Texas law.
