Prosecutors revealed that Amber Guyger was distracted by a 16-minute phone call and sexually explicit text messages with her partner, Officer Martin Rivera, leading up to the shooting. This "sexting" narrative provides a concrete explanation for how she could have ignored multiple warning signs, such as the wrong floor and a red doormat. The hosts argue that "phones kill" and that Guyger's preoccupation with her romantic affair led directly to the fatal encounter.
