Amber Guyer, 31, was found guilty of murder yesterday after shooting 26-year-old Botham Jean in September of last year.

Guyer said she thought she was entering her own apartment and mistook Jean for an intruder. Prosecutors claimed Guyer was negligent, careless and distracted which resulted in terrible decisions being made.

Guyer will face a sentence of 5 years to life in prison without probation. The sentencing phase will continue today.
