In 2019, Amber Guyger was found guilty for the murder of Botham Jean in his Dallas apartment. The former Dallas officer became eligible for parole last month after serving five years of her 10-year prison sentence.
The parole board made the decision on Thursday (October 10). The death of Botham Jean sparked outrage across the country. In 2018, Guyger entered Jean’s apartment, believing it was hers. She told authorities she mistook him for an intruder before fatally shooting him.
