Amber Guyger trial -- Dallas officer on trial had no drugs, alcohol in system
DALLAS (AP) — A white Dallas police officer who fatally shot her black neighbor in his apartment last year had no drugs or alcohol in her system at the time, a police detective testified Tuesday.
Detective Eddie Ibarra's testimony during the second day of Amber Guyger's murder trial marked the first time her toxicology results have been publicly revealed.
Guyger was off duty but in uniform when she shot Botham Jean last September. Guyger has said she mistook his apartment for her own.
Prosecutors have said Guyger should have noticed she was on the wrong floor, and contend she was distracted by a phone and text conversation with a colleague with whom she had a sexual relationship. Guyger's attorneys have argued that she fired in self-defense based on the mistaken belief that she was in her home and that Jean was a burglar.
