I watched all of the testimony in this trial. I believe the state has proved the charge of murder.
I think Amber's partner cancelled the rendezvous they had planned for that night, and Amber was upset and angry. This would account for the long phone conversation between them and Amber pulling over in the parking garage, before parking, while on the phone. It then set the stage for everything that happened afterward.
In her rage she drove to the wrong floor of the parking garage. (A tenant testified she was driving fast) Amber then missed all the signs she was on the wrong floor and at the wrong apartment.
Her unreasonable belief that there was an intruder in her apartment gave her the chance to vent her build-up rage, IMO.
There is no doubt in my mind that Amber made the decision to shoot Botham Jean before she entered the apartment. IMO, she wanted to go in and shoot the "intruder." I believe she was angry, not scared. I don't believe she shouted any commands.
The self-defense excuse is a further insult to Botham Jean.
If I was a juror on this case, murder would be my vote.
