Former Dallas police officer who fatally shot neighbor was on phone with partner before the shooting, prosecutor says.
Hermus also revealed that the texts show that Guyger, 31, had been having a sexual relationship with Martin Rivera, her partner on the Dallas police force, and that she was on the phone with him as she drove into the parking garage and just prior to shooting Jean.
Guyger's defense team told state District Judge Tammy Kemp that the text messages and other information from her phone don't speak to her mindset, and have maintained that she was still fatigued from work.
