The White House said Stockman had contracted coronavirus while in federal prison and has served more than two years of his 10-year sentence. Esformes’ prison sentence was commuted by the president on Tuesday, but other aspects of his sentence, including supervised release and millions in restitution, remained intact.

Guyger's defense against the murder charge is that she mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment -- Jean's apartment is on the floor above hers -- thought Jean was a burglar and opened fire, killing him. Hermus also sought to show that Guyger violated protocol by opening fire in the first place. Guyger wasn't the only one to disregard protocol, Hermus said. Guyger, Rogers said, walked in, looked up and saw what she thought was a burglar about 30 feet from her, her attorney said. Guyger, who was fired following the shooting, is expected to take the stand when her defense team presents its case.
