The search warrant of Dallas PD gives a different account of shooting agents

Lawyers and the family of Botham Jean are scheduled to hold a press conference Friday noon, which can be viewed in the video player above.

The family of Jean Botham, the 26-year-old cult leader who was shot dead inside her apartment, which she confused with his own last week, calls for greater transparency in her home. l & # 39; investigation. A report released Thursday contradicts what Dallas police officer Amber Guyger initially told the police after she shot Jean.

According to the detective who filed the report, on the night of the shooting, the agent Amber Guyger "was trying to enter the apartment 1478, with a set of keys. An unknown man inside the apartment confronted the officer at the door. A neighbor said he heard an exchange of words, immediately followed by at least two shots.

This statement contradicts what Guyger later told the investigators, stating that "the door was slightly ajar … the room was almost completely dark" and that she had seen it "on the other side of the room … and had shoot on it".

During John's funeral, the Dallas Police Department issued a search warrant detailing the property seized in Jean's apartment, although they did not say whether that property belonged to Jean or Guyger. Among the items seized was a small amount of marijuana. Jean's lawyers said the mention of marijuana among the property seized was a "disgusting attempt to murder his character".

Other items listed include two sockets, a laptop, a ballistic jacket with police markings, a black backpack with police gear and documents, an insulated lunch box, a metal marijuana mill and two RFID keys. The document does not reveal who belonged to the objects.

In addition to greater transparency, family lawyers would like Guyger to be fired from the Dallas Police Service and to have his toxicology report published.

Benjamin Crump, a lawyer representing Jean's family, says that the marijuana found in Botham Jean's apartment is "completely unimportant" and that the Jean family does not know who she belonged to. Crump said any attempt to use the so-called discovery to divert attention from the circumstances of John's death was "nothing but a repugnant attempt to assassinate his character now that he murdered his no one".

"It has absolutely nothing valid to solve this crime and for it to be published that day, I do not believe in coincidences. It was the intention to come after the character of this young man, who is otherwise impeccable, "said Lee Merritt, who also represents Jean's family.
