S. Lee Merritt, a lawyer for the Jean family, said that Chief Hall called on Sunday night to tell them that despite those concerns, she planned to dismiss Ms. Guyger. “As a police chief, my job is to ensure the integrity, the highest level of integrity in this criminal investigation, and that is what I did,” Chief Hall said. Mr. Merritt said that Mr. Jean would be buried on Monday in his home country, St. Lucia. Tensions have remained high in the nearly three weeks since the killing of Mr. Jean, who graduated from Harding University in Arkansas. Protesters demanding justice have rallied in the streets and disrupted a City Council meeting, while Dallas police officers have said they believe Ms. Guyger’s version of events.
