New evidence from the trial reveals that Amber Guyger was distracted by a 16-minute phone call and sexually explicit text messages with her partner, Martin Rivera, leading up to the shooting. Prosecutor arguments suggest these messages explain why she missed visual cues like Jean's red doormat. The hosts emphasize that "phones kill," attributing the tragedy to Guyger being "preoccupied" with her device while entering the wrong floor.
The segment covers trial testimony from Guyger's supervisor regarding Dallas police training, which dictates a tactical retreat and calling for backup when encountering a burglar. Defense attorneys argue Guyger acted as any officer would when facing an intruder. Further details emerge about the 16-minute call with Martin Rivera, suggesting Guyger's mindset was significantly altered by the conversation just minutes before the confrontation.
