The murder trial of Amber Guyger enters its sixth day following hours of emotional testimony from the ex-Dallas police officer charged with killing a 26-year-old man in his own apartment while she was off duty
It was the first time the public heard from the former officer, who broke down on the witness stand Friday, saying she believed she had entered her own home and thought the man she encountered was going to kill her. "I hate that I have to live with this every single day of my life," Guyger cried as she testified in her own defense. "I ask God for forgiveness, and I hate myself every single day ... I wish he was the one with the gun who had killed me.
Later Friday, Dallas County prosecutor Jason Hermus, on cross-examination, sought to poke holes in Guyger's story, noting that she told responding officers that she believed it was her apartment but said nothing about Jean coming at her. Guyger admitted under questioning by Hermus that she was trained in CPR but only"did a little CPR" and a sternum rub on the dying man. She testified that her mind was racing, that she was on the phone with a 911 operator.
