BUILDING IN DALLAS.
WHAT IS THE FEE+@LING INSIDE TH
COURTHOUSE?
COURTHOUSE? >> Reporter: I WILL TELL YOU
THERE IS A LOT OF ANTICIPATION.
+@
THERE IS A LOT OF ANTICIPATION. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE NERVOUS
ABOUT THIS PR+@ODUCT.
THE JURY HAS A TOUGH JOB. THEY
HAVE TO DECIDE IS THIS MURDER+@
MANSLAUGHTER, OR NOT GUILTY.
WAS AT A RECKLESS OR
INTENTIONA+@L ACT?
INTENTIONA+@L ACT? >> THIS IS CRAZY.
>> Reporter: OR WAS IT A TRAGIC
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE.
MISTAKE. >> IT IS RESULTING IN THIS
HORRIBLE PERFECT STORM COMING
TOGETHER WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
>>> THE+@Y ARE DECIDING THE FAT
OF AMBER GUYGER.
PROSECUTOR SAID BOTHAM JEAN IS
DEAD BECAUSE SHE WAS RECKLESS
AND MADE BAD DECISIONS.
>> WE CANNOT HAVE INTRUDERS
KILL+@ING HOMEOWNERS.
KILL+@ING HOMEOWNERS. >> Reporter: PROSECUTO+@R SAY
BOTHAM JEAN WITH EATING ICE
CREAM WHEN AMBER GUYGER WALKED
IN AND KILLED HIM . THEY SAY
SHE COULD'VE BACKED OUT OF THE
APARTMENT AND CALL+@ED FOR
BACKUP.
BACKUP.
BACKUP. >> IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE
DIFFERENT OPTIONS YOU COULD DO
AND KILLING SOMEONE IS NOT
NECESSARY. UNLESS YOU HAVE
THOSE TWO DOCTORS WHERE IT WAS
IMMEDIATE AND NECESSARY, YOU DO
NOT GET TO +@KILL SOMEBODY AND
SAY TOO BAD.
>> THEY SAY AMBER GUYGER THAT
SH+@E WAS IN HER APARTMENT AND
BOTHAM JEAN WAS A+@N INTRUDER
COMING AT HER.
>> IT IS ONE OF THOSE CASES
WHERE THERE ARE NO WINNERS.
A WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING+@ HAS LT
HIS LIFE AND IT IS JUST A
HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. JERKED
DEFENSE ATTORNEYS SAY THE JURY
SAID NOT CONSIDER THE TESTIMONY
ABOUT GUYGER AND HER PATROL
PARTNER HAVING AN AFFAIR.
>> YOU C+@AN HATE HER FOR SENDI
THAT TEXT. YOU CAN BE ANGRY
WITH H+@ER.
WITH H+@ER. BUT HE CANNOT CONVICT HER.
>> Reporter: THEY HOPE THEY
WILL REMEMBER GUYGER'S
TESTIMONY AND THEY HELD UP A
PICTURE OF BOTHAM JEAN SAYING
HE COULD NOT COME INTO THE
COURTROOM TO PLEAD FOR SYMPATHY
. TH+@E FACT THE JUDGE SAID THE
HOME AT 5:00 LEADS SOME TO
BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE NOWHERE
NEAR A VERDICT.
THEY ARE+@ SEQUESTERED IN TH+@E
COUNTY PAYING FOR A L+@OT.
SIMPLY THAT THEY WERE CLOSE
THEY WOULD CONTINUE TO
DELIBERATE THR+@OUGHOUT THE NIG
BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE COMING
BACK TOMORROW MORNING.
>> THEY HAVE A LOT TO CONSIDER.
THEY CAN FIND AMBER GUYGER NOT @
GUILTY BUT THEY FIGHT ARE
GUIL+@TY THEY WILL HAVE TO DECI
BETWEEN MURDER AND
MANSLAUGHTER.
MANSLAUGHTER. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?
INSTEAD OF TEXAS, IT COMES DOWN
TO INTENT.
TO INTENT. IT IS MURDER OF THE SUSPECT
INTENDS TO CAUSE DEATH AND IT
IS MANSLAUGHTER IF THEY ACTED
RECKLESSLY AND DISREGARDED THE
RISK THAT TH+@E ACTIONS COULD
LEAD TO SOMEONE'S DEATH.
>> WE HAVE SEEN PROTEST
FOLLOWING THE PRODUCTS IN +@CAS
LIKE THIS ONE SO DOLLARS HAS TO
PREPARE JUST IN CASE.
TIFFANY LIOU IS OUTSIDE THE
COURTHOUSE AND THE JURY HAS
ENDED DELIBERATIONS SO WE WILL
WAIT AND SEE.
>> Reporter: ABSOLUTELY.
IT COULD REALLY SHIFT ONE WAY
OR THE OTHER AND YOU CAN BET
THE CITY IS PREPARING IF IT
GOES ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
+@
+@ I
+@ I SPOKE TO A MAN NAMED JOHN
MATTHEWS WHO SPENDS HIS TIME
CONSULTING POLICE DEPARTMENTS
AND HE SAYS THERE IS SOME
PROTOCOL THAT THEY WILL FOLLOW.
THE FIRST ONE IS THAT Y+@OU HAV
TO BE UP TO DATE ON TRAINING AS
FAR AS DEALING WITH SITUATIONS
THAT MAY ARISE. IF AN INCIDENT
WERE TO HAPPEN, WHERE THE
POSSIBLE LOCATIONS, WHO WOULD
BE DISPATCHED, AND THOSE ARE
ALL QUESTIONS LAW ENFORCEMENT
IS THINKING OF.
STAFFING IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
WE ALSO HAV+@E THE STATE FAIR
GOING ON RIGHT NOW AND HAVE +@T
PLAN WERE TO HAVE DETAIL AND
ALSO LONG SHIFTS ARE POSSIBLE.
A DIVISION IS PROBABLY
MONITORING SOCIAL MEDIA TO SEE
IF ANY PLAN RALLIES POP-UP AND
MUTUAL+@ AID IS IN PLACE.
WHAT IT REALLY BOILS DOWN TO IS
THAT THEY ARE HOPING FOR THE
BEST BUT PREPARING FOR THE
WORST DEPENDENT ON WHAT COMES
OF THIS AMBER GUYGER VERDICT.
>> WHAT IS THE DALLAS POLICE
DEPARTMENT SEEN+@ TODAY?
>>> WE HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM
ON CAMERA BUT THEY DID POST
SOMETHING ON THEIR BLOG THAT
SAYS THEY SUPPORT FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS WARNING PEOPLE
TO BE ABLE TO RALLY AND
PROTEST, AS LONG AS IT IS DONE
LAWFULLY AND+@ PEACEFULLY.
>> IN THE MEANTIME, THEY PREPARE
. THANK Y+@OU.
THIS TRIAL HAS A LOT OF MOVING
PARTS.
PARTS.
PARTS. WE
