The urgent meeting expected today. Good morning from the studio nsroom at cbs headquarters here in new york, im Wendy Gillette in for annemarie green. Testimony in the sentencing phase of Amber Guygers murder trial resumes today. Yesterday guyger, a white expolice officer in dallas, was convicted of murdering an unarmed black man inside his own apartment. Guyger now faces possible life in prison. Laura podesta is in new york. Laura, is guyger expected to appeal this verdict . Reporter wendy, it has not formally been announced, but its likely she will appeal this murder conviction. Legal experts say a defense that could be used in that appeal is the Castle Doctrine. Similar to stand your ground, the Castle Doctrine says a person is justified in using deadly force if someone enters their home or their castle. But this would be an unprecedented use of the Castle Doctrine because it was not guygers home. She thought it was, but it turned out to be her neighbors. 31yearold amber guyger spent her first night behind bars last night. We the jury unanimously find the defendant amber guyger guilty of murder as charged in the indictment. Reporter the former Dallas Police officer was convicted of murdering her neighbor, botham jean, more than a year ago. Guyger shot and killed him after she said she mistakenly entered his apartment thinking it was her own. This community waited on pins and needles to decide whether or not someone could be held guilty for killing an unarmed black man while in his home eating ice cream. Reporter protests erupted in the days after the shooting over concern that justice would not be served for the death of an unarmed black man by police. We believe that bothams life mattered and want a sentence to that reflects that. Reporter after a weeklong trial, the jury will decide guygers fate. She faces five to 99 years in prison. The sentencing phase began yesterday with jeans family testifying how his death has affected them. I cannot sleep. I cannot eat. Reporter the prosecution also showed racially insensitive texts from guyger. Her attorneys are now expected to call on witnesses vouching for her character. I ask god forgiveness. I hate myself every single day. Reporter the same jury that delivered the murder verdict will decide the length of guygers sentence. And wendy, its unclear how long it will take that jury to deliberate during this sentencing phase. Back to you. Laura podesta in new york. Thanks.
