Opening statements are set to begin Monday in the murder trial of a white
police officer accused of
shooting her black neighbor in his Dallas apartment.
Amber Guyger, 31, is expected in a city courthouse Monday morning, where she will stand trial for the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Botham Jean last year.
The case has attracted intense national scrutiny for its strange circumstances and as one in a chain of shootings of black men by white police officers.
