overturned. She will become eligible for parole in 2024, under her current sentence.
Dallas County prosecutors countered that the error was not reasonable, that Guyger acknowledged intending to kill Jean and that “murder is a result-oriented offense.” In a 23-page opinion, the justices also disagreed that evidence supported a conviction of criminally negligent homicide rather than murder, and they pointed to Guyger’s own testimony that she intended to kill.
Rightfully so.
As it should be.
nita2293 I will NEVER be convinced it was anything beyond walking onto the wrong apartment door as any LARGE BUILDING DWELLER will know... it happens often and those moments of confusion and panic are definitely how this happened. She is remorseful because it was an awful accident.
When is the execution?
When I break into an apartment, I always put out a bright red welcome mat while I'm inside... She deserved life in prison
morgfair Why she didn't get life is beyond comprehension, there was more to this story.
morgfair Lol! No sympathy for her either.
Finally Texas in the news for something good.
I'm surprised Abbott hasn't pardoned her yet
She left the apartment immediately after shooting him to call dispatch. Didn’t even stay to try to render aide while calling. Tells you everything you need to know. She’s a trained police officer. Trained to deal with tense situations. There is no excuse to just leave as he dies
She’s just another one of those rogue cops that are out there in our police forces that we need to weed out and get rid of those are the kind of cops we don’t want or need there’s a lot of good cops out there that are getting mud thrown on them because of these kinds of cops
I still can't get over the security guard playing with her hair wtf
How did she get in his apartment?
As if they could do other wise. Pfft!
Good, murderers should be behind bars, but his name was Botham Jean
BradWaldera Great news. Too many cops are murdering (Black) people at an alarming rate and getting away with it because of a poor justice system. Holding police personally responsible for lives in their patrol is the best way to better policing.
Imagine the audacity.
Her neighbor had a fucking name. Botham Jean.
Good
ACAB EndQualifiedImmunity DefundThePolice The police time and again destroy our trust in them They require dismantling and reconstruction, as with any house left too long in rot.
I wish her sentence could be appealed by the prosecution for more time
I applaud the judges’ decision. I also believe that 10 years is too light for murder. As they said, the intent was clear. She meant to kill, regardless of circumstance. Was that a confluence of race & gender bias? Judge the crime amongst its’ peers.
She's looks very disappointed she didn't get away with murder as a cop.
Imagine walking into your neighbors house, murdering them, then claiming you thought it was your house and only getting 10 years?
The people on here commenting seem to be very confused about where they stand in life.
Good.
Have Fun in Prison Amber😏
Put her in jail and throw away the key.
karenhunter
Good.
I am so happy to see consensus in the comments 🥰
I mean, he’s still dead, so it’s still murder. I guess she could try again after the rapture, I guess?
She never was believable. Glad they upheld conviction.
the fact that she only got 10 years is a disgrace... also, she never got charged for home invasion.
Should have gotten life.
I hope they in there going to her body everyday
👮♂️ Don’t shoot innocent people, especially in thier own home!✍️
Great news! She shot her neighbor because his music was loud, the Judge bailiff, and the victim's brother hugged this woman! Shame on them glad she will remain in prison, 12 years is not enough, she should have got life. Hope the Dykes get her!
karenhunter Botham Jean's brother, blk judge & baliff Must be Depressed!
Good
What? Consequences Shock and awe.
I don’t comprehend the ‘I was confused so I shot him’ defense. If I opened the door to what I thought was my place and saw all the furniture was wrong, I’d probably spaz and slam the door on my way out in embarrassment.
The victim had a name Botham Jean, the victim had a face:
As they should have!
Can not like this enough times
10 years is too light
How much time did this heffa get?
Good.
What about the murder of Ashili Babbitt on Jan 6th By a Capitol hill police when she wasn't looking. No justice no peace. George Floyd got justice What about Eric Garner He got justice. Amber Guyger neighbor got justice.
She had the nerve to ask for an appeal smh hasn't learned jack shit
She’ll find a pen pal...sending her thoughts.
ALBDamn She “murdered him”. How hard is that to say?
I still believe it was premeditated. Unless ur Robert Downey Jr. U can't get high and drunk enuf to confuse where u live. If u ever lived in the projects where everything looks exactly alike u still know where u live
AntheaButler Why is she not on Death Row … in the express lane?
She didn't 'mistake' anything. That's why she's behind bars.
Did not see that coming.
Good
Dear tone deaf reporter, refer to the neighbor by name His name is Jean Botham
She killed that man in his own home. This is an easy one. Good grief.
TinaMarie_80s
Good. (I am an old white woman).
mattlargey Here you go, fixed it for you. Here’s the picture of the convicted murderer you were looking for. You’re welcome!
Good. That’s what should happen. She murdered a man who was sitting on his couch, in his apartment, eating ice cream.
TimInHonolulu she entered that apt knowing what she was doing but thinking it wouldn't stick - 'I thought it was my apt' excuse is preposterous. He was eating ice cream. White supremacists🙄.
10 years. For murder. She'll be out in 2. F_ckTexas
TX SCT will reverse.
Good
