DALLAS (KRLD) - The mother of a Dallas police officer who was convicted of killing an upstairs neighbor is telling jurors about her daughter.
Karen Guyger is the first witness to testify in defense of Amber Guyger during the sentencing portion of Guyger's trial.
Karen Guyger said Wednesday that Amber Guyger is the youngest of three children, and defense attorneys showed several family photos to the jury.
Upon questioning from defense attorneys, Karen Guyger testified that her daughter had been sexually assaulted by an adult male when she was a young child.
Amber Guyger faces up to life in prison for the fatal shooting of Botham Jean. She says she mistook Jean's apartment for her own one floor below and mistook him for a burglar.
