DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - Jury selection begins Friday in the murder trial against former Dallas Police officer Amber Guyger.
Guyger is charged in the shooting death of Botham Jean in September 2018.
Guyger said she walked into what she thought was her apartment, saw the man thinking he was a burglar, and shot and killed him.
