To see if she was talking about the case on the cruise ship?
This seems unusual |

Or was she ordered not to leave the state?
But the murder happened in early 2019 right? |

The murder either happened on Sept 6 2018 or we plotted it here for four months before it happened.
How stupid would you have to be to go on a cruise when you're on conditional release? ETA: Can't find a source I completely trust but the order for Guyger not to travel may not have happened until November. |

wonder if they are looking to see if she got on the wrong cruise ship.

So THATS why her hair is lighter, and she looks so tan and fit.

Ohh.
They are going to get her locked up until the trial aren't they? |

She would have been able to travel on cruise ship prior to November 30th 2018 because she wasn't restricted to Texas and she still possessed her passport.
After November 30th 2018 she cannot leave Texas without permission, and she wouldn't have a passport for any international travel either. |

She was initially charged with manslaughter and released on $300K bond. Wouldn't travel restrictions have been imposed then? That is very likely why the prosecutor wants her travel records as far back as Sept. 23. https://newsone.com/3848852/amber-gu...uise-subpoena/

I don't see how they could restrict her travel before any indictment which didn't happen until December 1

Guyger was briefly jailed on September 9th and only released because she able to meet the bail. I'm not a lawyer but it seems to me that if they could throw her in jail at that time then they could have also restricted her travel at that time. I can't find anything that says any judge actually did restrict her travel at that time though.
The timing on the records they are looking for is probably driven by the day she was fired. They can probably account for her time up to that point. |

I think this writer must be ghosting our thread.
His article came out days after our in depth questioning of this. https://newsone.com/3848852/amber-gu...uise-subpoena/

Well she would need a vacation after experiencing the trauma of staying awake for 16 grueling hours. You need some self care after a horrific experience like that.

I'll guess, since we haven't heard, she didn't shot someone that she thought was in her room after mistaking another guests room as hers because, you know, tired from all the fun in the sun for 16 hours. Or, maybe she did and that's why the cruise records are wanted.

Why would it take more than a few hours to figure out if she took a cruise when she was not allowed to?

You know what's probably more likely? She'd booked the cruise prior to the shooting (if they're looking back as far as Sept 23, that's quite likely). Then she looked at the already-paid-for cruise, and thought, "Well, I ****** up shooting that guy, I know it, and so I'm likely going to end up in prison sometime in the next year or so. So, **** it, let's take the cruise. What, are they going to throw me in prison even harder?" After all, there's no vacations from prison, so you might as well go while you've got the chance. Sure, maybe they should have put travel restrictions on her much earlier than they did, but if they didn't, well, **** it. I'd have probably done the same in her place. |

Of course this is speculation, but let's say the cruise was already booked.
Taking it certainly could persuade a juror or two who would otherwise have been be leaning toward clearing her to instead convict her, interpreting the cruise as evidence of her state of mind being callous and unconcerned as to the killing of an innocent man. And even if one assumes that she would have been convicted anyway, her going on a cruise could certainly impact her sentence. So as I see it, yes, they certainly could throw her in jail harder; a lot harder! So I would not recommend it. |

Well, it's all speculation to us, but it's not speculation to her. We don't know what actually went down that night, but she does. This might be a sign that she knows she's guilty, and that even a brain-dead juror will see that once all the evidence is presented. So, since she's in the know, why not live a little before the hammer comes down? |

What is possible, is that she booked the cruise previous to the shooting.
And didn't go. But looking through the finances, they saw the charge, so they are seeing if she actually went. Unless you buy cancellation insurance, I don't think all cruises are refundable. Also- Trial date got moved to september 23rd. |

CBS Story about the Trial being delayed.
Also a funny note, it says 'Gunshot Wounds' to the chest and abdomen. We were pretty clear only one bullet hit Jean. https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2019/04/03/...r-botham-jean/ |

Now a bunch of criminals are getting charges dropped because Amber Guyger has been charged.

I find this really strange. One for the fact that she is still innocent of any crime in the eyes of the criminal justice system and two what bearing does her charges have on the past arrests?

1/ Criminal prosecutions, especially in high-profile cases, take a long time in the U.S. Both sides get to conduct thorough investigations, question witnesses, hire experts, examine evidence etc. before trial. 2/ The past arrests require her testimony at trial. The fact that she's charged with murder certainly raises doubts about her judgment and integrity.
