原创谋杀罪成立最高判99年！走错楼层射击黑人邻居，美国女警法庭落泪
冰川思想库10-02 17:53
据外媒10月1日报道，美国达拉斯前警官安布尔·盖格尔因开枪误杀了楼上的邻居博瑟姆·吉恩，于本周二被判犯有谋杀罪。
在枪击事件之后，安布尔就已经被开除。
▲安布尔·盖格尔
2018年9月6日，因把车停错了楼层，安布尔将博瑟姆的公寓错当成了自己的公寓。那一天她走进博瑟姆的公寓，当时他正在沙发上边吃香草冰淇淋边看电视。安布尔事后称她在黑暗中认为有人闯入了她家行窃，她担心自己会有生命危险，于是就开枪射向了博瑟姆。
事发后，安布尔在911电话中说了20多次“我以为那是我的公寓”作为辩解，但检察官认为这一说法是荒谬的。其辩护律师也称安布尔经过了一天的工作非常疲惫，两层楼的门牌号非常模糊，使用的地板也很相似，造成了安布尔得出错误的判断。
但助理检察官贾森·法恩表示，“这不是一个失误，这是一系列不合理的决定，因为公寓前的红色门前的地毯和公寓标志都可以让安布尔意识到，这并不是自己的公寓。”

本周二晚些时候，审判阶段在达拉斯法庭进行，安布尔将因谋杀罪面临5到99年的监禁。在经过几个小时的商议和分析了六天的证词之后，法庭做出了有罪判决。据悉，这是达拉斯警察局自上世纪70年代以来首位被判谋杀罪的警察。
当判决宣布时，欢呼声响彻法庭，而安布尔流下了泪水。

吉恩家族的律师李·梅里特表示，“博瑟姆不应该死，他是一名受过大学教育的黑人，还是一名在为世界三大会计师事务所之一工作的注册会计师，而且他的家人理应得到公正对待。”
梅里特还在个人社交媒体上感谢了达拉斯法庭对安布尔的恰当定罪，“这是一场巨大的胜利，不仅是博瑟姆·吉恩家族的胜利，也是美国黑人的胜利。近年来，在美国白人警察开枪打死手无寸铁的黑人男子的事件层出不穷，吉恩的死只是其中之一。这个判决是一个趋势改变的信号，警察将对他们的行为负责，我们相信这将开始改变世界各地的警察文化。”
▲博瑟姆的母亲艾莉森·吉恩
博瑟姆的母亲艾莉森·吉恩和姐姐艾莉萨·查尔斯-芬德利，都在本周二参加审判阶段时穿了红色的裙子，因为红色是博瑟姆生前最喜欢的颜色。
艾莉森谈到儿子时说，“我有三个儿子，他们之间互相差10岁，博瑟姆是中间那一个，他和哥哥弟弟的关系非常好。博瑟姆是在去年生日前不久去世的，如果他还在，现在应该28岁了。”
▲博瑟姆的母亲艾莉森·吉恩
艾莉萨表示，“这件事导致我们整个家庭支离破碎，我的一个孩子现在非常害怕警察，因为当安布尔开枪打死博瑟姆的时候，她虽然已经下班了，但仍然穿着警察制服。”

Former Dallas Police Officer Is Guilty of Murder for Killing Her Neighbor
Amber Guyger killed an unarmed black man, Botham Jean, in his own apartment on a different floor from hers. She faces up to 99 years in prison.

But it quickly became clear that the officer, Amber R. Guyger, who is white, was in the wrong apartment. And the man she shot was not an intruder, but her neighbor, Botham Shem Jean, a 26-year-old black accountant who was watching television and eating ice cream in the apartment he rented directly above Ms. Guyger’s.
On Tuesday, Mr. Jean’s family braced themselves for the possibility that his death would be treated like many others across the country, in which police officers have been cleared of wrongdoing in the killings of unarmed black men. But that moment never came: A Dallas County jury found Ms. Guyger, 31, guilty of murder, choosing the more serious conviction over a lesser option of manslaughter.
ADVERTISEMENT
The verdict set off a scene of jubilation across the courthouse in downtown Dallas, a diverse city with a history of racial tensions with the police. Mr. Jean’s mother, Allison Jean, stood up in the courtroom, raised her hands in the air and celebrated with a prayer: “God is good.” In the hallways, supporters shouted an affirmation: “Black lives matter.”
LOOKING BACK
Botham Jean had told his mother that as a black man in America he was careful to avoid even routine encounters with the police.
The case did not fit into the familiar narratives of police killings in which officers fired their weapons on duty. But it was widely viewed as a test for whether there was anywhere in America where black men could be safe, if not in their own homes. With Ms. Guyger’s tearful testimony that she was afraid for her life when she saw a silhouetted figure in the darkened living room, the guilty verdict was seen by many activists as a step toward police accountability, and a rebuke of the stereotype that black men are inherently scary.
AMBER GUYGER
A Dallas jury will consider a prison sentence that could range from five to 99 years.
“This case looks very different than many of the other cases where juries have looked at black victims and not valued their lives,” said Rashad Robinson, the president of Color of Change, a racial justice organization.
ADVERTISEMENT
Mr. Robinson added that the case could serve as a warning that white people cannot get away with “hurting black people and, at the end, claiming fear.”
The fact that Ms. Guyger was not immediately arrested, and was initially charged with manslaughter, helped spark protests in the days after the shooting.
“This case exposed what’s wrong about how the department handles police shootings,” said Changa Higgins, the head of the Dallas Community Police Oversight Coalition. “It does represent a big shift in the idea of how we hold officers accountable when they murder.”
The trial unfolded in a diverse city — Dallas is 42 percent Hispanic, 29 percent non-Hispanic white and 24 percent black — that notably has people of color in nearly all of the major leadership positions. The mayor of Dallas, the police chief and the Dallas County district attorney are all black, as is the judge who presided over this case. Of the 12 jurors and four alternates, seven are African-American, four appear to be white and five are of other races and ethnicities.

“People in Dallas County worked hard to create an environment where justice is possible,” said S. Lee Merritt, a civil rights lawyer who represents Mr. Jean’s family, contrasting the situation with other cities, like Ferguson, Mo. There, a grand jury made up of nine white people and three black people decided not to indict a white police officer in connection with the 2014 shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, Michael Brown.
Mr. Merritt also represented the family of Antwon Rose II, an unarmed black teenager who was killed while fleeing a traffic stop in East Pittsburgh, Pa., last year. In that case, the white officer was acquitted by a majority-white jury.
“You have a progressive judge, which produced a diverse jury, and a district attorney that ran on a platform of police reform,” Mr. Merritt said. “That’s what’s different.”

The Guyger prosecution follows decades of tensions between minority communities and the police in the Dallas area.
In one case from the 1970s, a Dallas police officer was convicted of murdering a 12‐year‐old Hispanic boy during a game of Russian roulette.
Only three years ago, on a warm July night in 2016, five police officers were killed when a black man set out to target white police officers in downtown Dallas, turning a peaceful demonstration against fatal police shootings across the country into a scene of chaos and bloodshed.
And last year, a white former police officer in a Dallas suburb was found guilty of fatally shooting an unarmed black 15-year-old with a high-powered rifle. In that case, the officer was sentenced to 15 years in prison, one year for every year of the boy’s life.

The killing in Dallas heightened tensions in a city with a decades-old history of racial divisions.
The shooting of Mr. Jean in September 2018 ignited protests and calls for justice, with demonstrations outside Police Headquarters and inside City Hall. After weeks of community tensions and accusations of preferential treatment for the police, a grand jury came back with the increased charge of murder. By that time, she had been fired.
During a weeklong trial, prosecutors sought to paint Ms. Guyger as careless and aggressive on the night she entered someone else’s home, pulled her service weapon and opened fire. Her defense lawyers argued that she made an unfortunate but understandable mistake during a “perfect storm” of circumstances that ended in tragedy.

Originally from the Caribbean nation of St. Lucia, Mr. Jean had moved to Dallas to work for PwC, the accounting firm, formerly known as PricewaterhouseCoopers. Aware of the dangers of being a black man in America, his family said, he was careful to wear Ralph Lauren dress shirts and drive the speed limit to avoid even routine encounters with the police. He had a big smile and sang at church.
“Botham was the best that we have to offer,” Benjamin Crump, a civil rights lawyer representing the family, said at a news conference after the verdict. “But it shouldn’t take all of that for unarmed black and brown people in America to get justice.”
Mr. Jean lived in an apartment in downtown Dallas, and Ms. Guyger lived directly below him on the third floor.
Ms. Guyger was returning home from a long day of work when she said she accidentally parked on the wrong floor of their complex’s garage. As she walked down the fourth-floor hallway, she said, she did not realize that anything was amiss, nor did she notice the red doormat outside Mr. Jean’s door.

The door strike plate was defective and not fully latched, according to the defense, allowing Ms. Guyger to enter using her own keys.
When Ms. Guyger noticed someone inside, she said, she drew her gun and shouted, “Let me see your hands.” She testified that Mr. Jean was walking toward her and shouting “Hey” when she fired her weapon twice, striking Mr. Jean once in the torso and killing him.
“I was scared he was going to kill me,” she told jurors.
Her testimony conflicted with prosecution witnesses, including neighbors who said they did not hear verbal commands and a medical examiner, who testified that the bullet had a downward trajectory, indicating that Mr. Jean was either getting up from a seated position or was “in a cowering position” when he was shot.
After the verdict, Ms. Guyger sat quietly at the defense table. Her mother began crying audibly.
The jury, which will decide the length of punishment, began hearing testimony in the sentencing portion of the trial Tuesday afternoon. Ms. Guyger faces between five and 99 years in prison.
ADVERTISEMENT
Prosecutors sought to draw the jury’s attention to past social media posts by Ms. Guyger, including a post, “Kill first, die last” that she had saved to a page for “quotes and inspiration.”
The prosecution also highlighted a text they said Ms. Guyger sent while working at a parade celebrating the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. When asked when the festivities would end, she wrote: “When MLK is dead … oh wait …”
Mr. Jean’s mother also testified on Tuesday, her voice dropping to a whisper when she recalled the moment she found out her son had died. She told the jury that she has often been sick and unable to work since the loss of her son, whose birthday fell during the trial. He would have been 28.
“My life has not been the same,” she said. “I cannot sleep. I cannot eat.”
