Joshua Brown, a so called “key witness” in the Amber Guyger murder case was shot and killed by unknown assailants on Friday, Oct.5.
Brown is being credited with helping get Guyger convicted.
Lee Merritt, Dallas race baiter and lawyer for Botham Jean’s family said that he spoke with Joshua Brown’s mother and that she is “devastated.”
“We all are,” Merritt said. “ was a key witness in the murder of Botham Jean that helped put Amber Guyger away. We need answers.”
Brown’s testimony was simply that he heard words between Jean and a female and then heard two shots.
That was hardly “key evidence” and certainly was no bombshell. Guyger’s testimony and the statements she had made for the last year reflected exactly the same thing.
I don’t see that he added anything that was not already known.
Merritt sounds like he is trying to conjure up a hit by Guyger’s supporters.
Hmmmmm Brown was concerned for his safety if he testified came foward:
Lee Merritt — a lawyer for the family of Botham Jean, the black man who was fatally shot by Guyger, a white officer who was off duty but in uniform — previously said Brown had reservations about testifying in the trial because of concerns for his safety.
Oh wait . . . if your a drug dealer you would be concerned if it looks like your willing to talk to the cops and testify about things:
Officials said the three men traveled from Alexandria, Louisiana, to purchase drugs from Brown, 28, in the parking lot of a Dallas apartment complex.
Police confiscated 12 pounds of marijuana, 149 grams of THC cartridges and $4,157 in cash during a search of Brown’s home, Moore said.
