The jury deliberated for less than a day
Ashley Killough
A Dallas jury moments ago found former police officer Amber Guyger guilty of murder for fatally shooting her unarmed neighbor, Botham Jean.
The jury deliberated less than 24 hours. The verdict followed a trial that has captured national attention and sparked outrage.
The jury had two questions for the court this morning before they reached the verdict, according to attorneys for the Jean family.
Jurors asked for a definition of manslaughter. They also asked for additional information on the so-called castle doctrine — the legal notion that your home is your castle, and you have the right to use lethal force to defend your home and not retreat.
