The majority of Tuesday morning was spent by the prosecution examining the way responding Dallas Police Officers treated Amber Guyger the night of the shooting.
Several Officers were called to the stand and body cam footage was showed to the jury. The prosecution claimed Guyger was receiving special treatment. Lawyers claimed Guyger was told to “not talk” and an in-car recording system was turned off when she was placed in a patrol car. The defense said Guyger’s treatment was not out of the ordinary.
