Botham Jean's mother, Allison Jean, testifying now in the sentencing phase.
Allison Jean talking about her son getting the top student award, the "spirit of Saint Mary", in high school, then going on to Harding University where he was the student council president, played rugby, sang in the choir and liked that it was a Christian school.
While at Harding, Jean led student mission trips to his home county of St. Lucia.
Allison Jean cries talking about how her life has changed since her son, Botham Jean, was killed, "My life has not been the same. It’s just been like a roller coaster. I cannot sleep. I cannot eat. It’s, it’s just been the most terrible time for me."
Guyger's former sergeant testified that, a month before the shooting, he referred Guyger to internal affairs after a handcuffed prisoner escaped from her and she did not notify her supervisor.
State just showed a text Guyger sent while working a MLK parade in which she joked the parade would end "when MLK is dead... oh wait..."
State also showed a text from Martin Rivera to Guyger in which he said he was in an area with five black officers, saying, "Not racist but damn." Guyger replies, "Not racist but just have a different way of working and it shows."
