The Amber Guyger / Botham Jean case is big news. It just went to trial.

Medical Examiner Testifies Botham Jean Was Likely Bent Over or on His Back When Amber Guyger Shot Him

Not everything needs to be about tRump. Jean deserves some respect. He is a black man dead at the hand of a white cop in his own apartment by a cop that mistook it for her own. Very shady things are coming out at the trial. I hope she gets life.

She deleted texts in the squad car and they let her.

‘Go Fast, Kill First’: Amber Guyger Reportedly Deleted Several Social Posts Reflecting Her Arrogance as a Cop

“Lest we be fooled by the pretty blue dresses and blond blowout, here is a glimpse into the mind of #AmberGuyger,” Jean family attorney Lee Merritt tweeted Thursday. “She was busy deleting these post when she should have been being interrogated. We were able to screen grab these before she could get to them. Each has been verified.”

about the girl being held down while her classmates cut her hair, NBC made no mention of the fact that Mother Pence works at that very school. Perhaps they felt there was no direct relevance to the girl's story, but it does show the atmosphere prevailing there.

What's going on, Lester?

it's the most important issue concerning the nation. It's not like it's a slow news day. ABC and CBS both led with impeachment and the cop killer ran second where it should have.

Stop it! A black man once again murdered by cop is of great concern to this county. Read my post above about her vicious texts that the cops let her delete when she should have been interrogated.

...this is a blockbuster trial. When the man was shot months ago it was the top story everywhere.

NBC's choice - keep running repeats of interviews of White House people and congressmen, or report on this story.

A good decision.

... Botham Jean was sitting on his couch eating vanilla ice cream topped with crumbled chocolate chip cookies and watching TV when Dallas police officer Amber Guyger mistakenly walked into his apartment. His laptop was open and on. It appears he had airpods in his ears. He was dressed comfy, in shorts and a T-shirt ... https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/special-reports/botham-jean/what-learned-in-the-amber-guyger-murder-trial/287-08dc486a-3dee-4f3e-ab51-ed4eb61f3387

Botham Jean was the son of a St Lucia Government Cabinet member who worked with an international company as an accountant. It's not merely the murder of a black man who was eating ice-cream in his own apartment in a middle class neighborhood - it is a shocking international story. If he wasn't safe, no black person is safe.

But you know the reason they ran it first: Video of the blonde cop bawling her eyes out on the stand. It never would have led without that video.
