The murder of botham jean

On the night of September 6, 2018, 26-year-old accountant Botham Jean was murdered in Dallas, Texas, by off-duty Dallas Police Department patrol officer Amber Guyger, who entered Jean's apartment and fatally shot him. Guyger, who said that she had entered Jean's apartment believing it was her own and believed Jean to be a burglar, was initially charged with manslaughter. The absence of a murder charge led to protests and accusations of racial bias because Jean—an unarmed black man—was killed in his own home by a white off-duty officer who had apparently disregarded police protocols. On November 30, 2018, Guyger was indicted on a charge of murder. On October 1, 2019, she was found guilty of murder and was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment the following day. The ruling was upheld on appeal in 2021.https://www.facebook.com/groups/truckstopmrdrandtruecrimehttps://www.instagram.com/truckstopmurder/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKXs4CjSF4xKCTmynFsKwSghttps://www.patreon.com/[email protected]/[email protected]://www.facebook.com/missing.miles.2023https://truecrimepodcastfestival.com/addressGary Howard2740 N.
