Amber Guyger, the former Dallas police officer who fatally shot an unarmed Black man in his own apartment -- saying she thought it was her own residence -- has appealed her sentence.
Guyger was convicted of murder last October and is serving a 10-year prison sentence. Her defense team says there was insufficient evidence to convict her of murder. The court should either acquit Guyger of that charge, or acquit her of murder, convict her of criminally negligent homicide, and hold a new hearing on the punishment, according to the court filing.
Stop the madness

So let me get this straight not only does she want to get out of jail earlier but she also wants her record expunged should we give her back her job too keep the f****** murder conviction
LOCK HER UP
All the hugs and forgiveness from his brother and she still can’t wait to get out and not serve her 10 years. He was just another black man. She deserves to serve the max. Because guess what the person she killed is serving the max. He DEAD!!!
What .... surprised ....
BAHAHAHA!
She need to sit for about 5 years first for not paying attention to detail as an officer is supposed to do.
I saw this coming. She felt entitled because as far as she's concerned, she did nothing wrong! This woman was very lucky. Anyone who come into my home thinking it's theirs will not be so lucky! IJS
I can understand going to the wrong floor BUT shooting a guy eating ice cream That’s another story!!!
akindemijemi ..see ur wife
She kills an innocent person, and wants to get away with it? Not to mention 10 years ain't even close enough to the punishement anybody else would've gotten? Shm
She's rightly where she should be ... in a freakin cell. She should be in there for life.
No NOOOO!!!10 yrs is NOT enough as is! Even someone without police training would take a step back (out the door)& assess the situation. “Why is there a man on my couch eating ice cream?” “Wait! That’s not my couch & I don’t have ice cream!” DAMN!Stop insulting us wit ur excuses!
she killed a man becuz of her mistake. this is cause and effect. if she gets off, that is the definition of systemic racism. shoot, kill then cry self defense? she messed up. period.
HARD TIME: International activities of the Latin America states in combating drug trafficking in the XXI century:
This woman made a deplorable mistake but she was adjudged guilty and sentenced. She has a right to appeal however the appeal reasoning is complete bullshit. It will be up to an appeal court to decide if that is so. She remains guilty.
Give her another ten years!!!
Ahhh but the picture of her crying & the fact that she is blonde & white and a police officer means she’s innocent, right? She should have immunity, right?
That’s not true. They kill blacks cos they know their law is protective of white folks. In fact they know there’s a loophole and can always appeal. It’s already planned n thought out. The guys rich. GOVT is using this folks to embezzle funds m wipe out black race. They’re assasin
I remember this 10 year really isnt anything considering there are people with drug offenses like possessing weed that are serving longer sentences
If I got drunk, broke into someone else's apartment, shot them, then claimed they were trespassing in my apartment, I'd get WAAAY more than ten years. Then again, I'm not a sworn officer of the law, so I can't get away with murder.
This bitoch is Guilty azz Fuk. There, I said it.
I pray that God makes sure she sees Botham' face every night and day.
She should appeal it and when she loses instead of 10 years the give her 80
Throw the fool in jail for life 😡💯
Do they make apartments using Xerox machines
You got problems lady.......definitely too much fear to be wearing a badge and a gun......Protect and serve....u dont have a clue maybe prison will do u good cnnbrk
Bad timing.
10 years for breaking and entering and and murder. Is it a wonder that people are pissed off at the system?
Your in for your term lady. Your appeal will be void.
What she wasn't happy with the sentence she got which I consider to be MODEST considering the circumstances. BEGGARS CANNOT BE CHOOSY!
She can’t just sit there and consider what she did. Still playing a victim.
She's lucky she got off that easy!
STEUPPSSS OK Karen!
Let her do her sentence - ALL of it! Stupidity is no justification for murdering an innocent person.
Now that BLM and antifa Thug who ya killed policemen death penalty to them all
Has nothing to do with race. It was pure negligence on her part. It cost that man his life.
To me this is not really a race issue, yes if He were to be a white guy he probably would not be dead, but to me it's more about the American police being trigger happy and shooting to kill, I have watched videos of the police emptying chips into suspects, even old white men.
She needs to serve her sentence.
Another good reason to keep your doors locked. If they don't have a key their not coming in.
How can somebody watching TV and eating ice cream be dangerous unless and until that person is holding her at knife point or pointing a gun towards her? Okay, the apartment may look the same from outside (not considering apartment numbers) but how can the interiors be the same?
😡😡😡
She got off light! Wow!!!
It's a tragedy. However, her excuse is unacceptable. This is what happens when police officers go into peoples homes without any reason of threat and shoot to kill. Anyone can be a victim of this irrational behavior of law enforcement. She and many like her should go to jail.
wonder what'll happen now
good
She wants leniency. Yet, she took his life from him. All because she was at the wrong apartment. Unbelievable!
She's lucky she only got 10 years
An innocent man is dead. I can’t believe people are advocating that because it was an “honest mistake” that she should be free. Again, the mans life was taken
I read recently where a man got his appeal knocked down in Louisiana for stealing lawn clippers. Life imprisonment. You know he was black right?
Film the police
She should get life without parole
I'm sorry but female cops do this alot. I have seen many accidental discharges, mistaken identity, and just plain shoot first headlines....they need to be trained differently or not in the field. Cant handle the stress of the responsibility...
Me: find a random unarmed person in my apart Also me: not asking « who are you, or what are you doing here », just shoot him down. Nonsense 🤦🏿♂️
I dont think she should get out but she will that mans family is weak I'm sorry but they are they serve with Jesus witch means they serve white people
I guess she also has the same furniture. What a lame excuse to kill someone 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Why is this news CNN. Trying to make police bad guys again? We should push to see her be freed. She made a tragic mistake. The right thing to do is to restore her independence. News is all the inner cities killings cover that, so find a way to stop it.
R U KIDDING ME. SHE’S LUCK SHE ONLY GOT 10 YEARS. SHE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS DOING? YOU DONT THINK I WOULD KNOW IF I WALKED INTO SOMEONE ELSES APT. FURNISHINGS, PHOTOS, ROOM COLOR, ART WORK ON WALLS, CARPET, NO CARPET, THIS IS ANOTHER BRIONNA TAYLOR SITUATION. 10 YEARS?
Is she done reading her pretty bible the judge gave her out of pitty?
She clearly was not police material. If you are not capable of finding your OWN home,you certainly should not have a job that requires a loaded gun! 10 years for this mans life? Unacceptable at best!
she can't but appeal for a more severe sentence for herself. She's not happy with the small 10. Too short. Sure!
Only in America a black man gets life sentence for stilling a yard tool while a white woman get ten years of jain time and appeals for killing a black man in his own apartment.
You won't see this on CNN...Initial jobless claims declined to 1,186,000 down 249,000 and well below consensus of 1.42 million. Continuing Jobless Claims declined to 16,107,000 down 844,000! Pandemic Unemployment Assistance swooned to 655,707 from 908,800. We. Are. Going.To-Win
But a woman is spending life in prison for buying red paint. I AM NOT PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN IF THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AMERICAN!!!!! WomenAgainstTrump i am disgusted!
Connasse
Appeal denied.
She's a liar and a murderer. 10 years isn't enough.
First off the man's door wasn't opened. Residents heard her pounding in the door, for him to open up... then they heard gun shots. So all you'll fools teeing to bend this story. She's a killer and should get 50 years in jail.
Anyone can do that 'job', and plead non-guilty. EASY.
Triple her sentence
Yay killer kop Karen...
Unarmed black man.... CNN strikes again.
She's getting away with murder.
Denied unless she wants the charges upgraded and the death penalty. That is all that she is eligible for. Stop wasting tax payer dollars on this garbage. 10 years was a lite sentence for what she did. She should have been given the death penalty from the start.
She was intoxicated. Stuff like this makes it absolutely impossible to feel sad when cops are shot in the line of duty. 🤷♂️
You made a mistake, live up to it. Honestly you deserved a 20 year sentence.
No! You should serve everyday of your sentence.
Of course she has
What about the opposite. A woman is at home watching Tv, a black man enters and shoots her. He says he thought she was an intruder because he thought it was his appartment. Nobody would have believed him. The whole thing is nonesense.
nope
So your telling me she shot someone and didn’t identify them first
how did she only get 10 years for murder?
Love the pictures to push the direction you want to reinforce. Your such a sad organization
She fucked up and needs to pay the price. She would expect no less if her or her family were the victims.
I wonder how his family feels about that. She should spend more than 10 years for what she did.
should be life
Cop or no cop. If I was to enter a dwelling thinking it was my own and kill the occupant. Im gettin arrested and will probably get 20 years. Personally i think this LEO got off easy. She of all persons should have known better.
BLM
You gonna reap what you sow little police woman. Shit gonna come back to see you. Always does.
It’s her right to appeal, for whatever reason she deems appropriate. It doesn’t mean she will or should be freed. I don’t understand why those who wantonly take others’ lives believe they should be blameless and face no consequences.
I'm not racist, I respect all people equally. I'm sick of the media inciting the 'white vs black bias', when in reality, white people are shot death much more than black people.
Wow. I guess if you don't like your neighbor pretend the apartment is yours so you can shot the person. SO WRONG.
You find some 10-year-old shit with everything is going on in this world and you call it breaking news. Get on board CNN. Stop fishing race war.
If she wins this appeal there will be no protection for anyone because anyone could walk into anyone’s apartment shoot an innocent person dead and then say “Oops, my bad.” and walk away.
kids and guns
Yes, she should appeal her sentence to get 50 years in prison. This dummy thinks she made an honest mistake😡
First you'll notice no matter how tired you may be once you put in the key and if it doesn't open then you look at the door and surrounding..or that all appartment have the same key Hello!!! 10 yrs is not enough
Cops have no problem shooting first and asking questions later but they never will admit or want to pay for their crimes
This woman will never take responsibility for her actions. She killed an innocent man in his home. A police officer is held to higher standard. No excuse. She is guilty of murder and has to pay for her crime.
Double it
Pure bs!! More years just for being dumb. What was she on drugs?😳😳😳😳
She deserved far longer than 10 years.
She should take it and run. Prosecutor should be appealing her 10 year sentence
If this was your apartment which it isn’t you would have keys to get in...
How is it possible that she got in the wrong apartment. Wouldn't that mean everyone in that complex has the same key for every apartment in that building. Things don't add up at all
In NY most perps don't sit on your couch eating ice cream waiting for you to come home!😂
Add another 30 years
bullshit 🤡
This is disgusting! She murdered this man
Can’t believe she only got 10 years. Reverse the colors...see what happens. See all you “It was an honest mistake, she should be given leniency” people change your tune real fuckin quick. She murdered an innocent man.
Her sentence was too light, can they increase it on appeal?
She's right it should have been longer.
She’s a liar! If she couldn’t tell her apartment from someone else’s how can she investigate anything
after gun control, should it be 'police control' ?
I wouldn't be surprised if Abbott commuted her sentence. It's Texas. It's also police.
Only 10 years! That's insulting.
Below the jail
This is either stupidity or mendacity. Either way,she should not be free.
6 months and probation if she can bring him back to life.
She killed this man out of jealousy. They had a situation before. This was no mistake. She should be doing life in prison,no parole.
That's just wrong. He was eating ice cream. Did he threaten to kill her with a spoon for breaking into his residence? I don't care how tired she was--if she did not realize she was on the wrong floor and that the furnishings of the apartment were different...she's lying.
Only 10 years! Another travesty in an unjust ‘justice’ system
10 years for murder? She should be quiet!
She’ll be out next week shopping at the Galleria
Great reporting fake news anything better than this today
Thought it was her own residence !!! The judge and jury are stupid if they believe this .
Look at her horrific face, may thunder strike her still😵😵
How about you stop spreding hate. “Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, who killed an unarmed man in his own apartment -- saying she thought it was her own residence -- has appealed her 10-year prison sentence” ... she was drunk! race not a factor.
Do your time. You deserve much longer for KILLING an innocent man. No DEFENSE there. GUILTY
No worries, she'll be back on the job, in no time!!
Of course... black lives don’t matter, oh sorry they do, oh wait not they don’t , oh hang on yes they do.... I’m confused, Hillary, Gates, Soros, Bush, Obama, Biden, can you please clarify .....
Why didn’t she receive death sentence? Should have made an example of her. Privileged white will learn there are real consequences
If a vaccine becomes available the last people to get it should be the democrats in the House and Senate. Their hatred of all things Trump disqualifies them
im sure she fucked up but why can't they just say she killed a man why unarmed black man
That’s heartless
My baby didn't do nothing..🤡🚫
Only 10 years for killing a person forever?
Pissed out of her mind/been rejected/ and like a LOT of police only more so in the US, probably racist, when you have trump for a 'leader' amend the sentence ...upwards 10 isn't enough
Totally ungrateful!!! She only got 10 years for killing an innocent man and she can't even accept that.
Here comes time served and a book deal :/
She belongs in prison. That's one of the most pathetic lies ever by a member of any police department. Lock her sorry ass up.
She better sit down and do her time for taking an innocent life!
10 years?! 10?
Not the only corrupt cop in Dallas! Collin county is full of corruption! A person on probation who leaves the county and requests a transfer to residing county, COLLIN county finds a way to revoke probation with miniscule violations to keep collecting money!
SINCE FAKE CNN WONT REPORT REAL NEWS Freed from jail amid coronavirus, VA rape suspect kills accuser: report Freed from jail amid coronavirus, VA rape suspect kills accuser: report
There it is. Remember the main witness was murdered...ya think that’s a coincidence
Only 10 years for killing a innocent person? Ridiculous!!
How tf does she get 10 years for killing someone in their own apartment
Give her life, if she was black you know that would have been the result
I was a cop. I worked long shifts. I worked overnights. I got tired. I never walked in the wrong house/apartment and started shooting people. 99% of the cops in this country should not have the privilege to carry a badge. policeunionsprotectbadcops
What in the actual fuck is this fuckery? She killed a man in his own home because she wasn’t smart enough to know she walked in the wrong house. Cops must be held accountable jist like everyone else. She needs to rot in prison
HouseDemocrats CNN ABC AttorneyCrump donlemon JacksonLeeTX18 MSNBC RepSwalwell prison not fun after killing someone in own home tedlieu WhipClyburn
The Louisiana Supreme Court just ruled a black man who stole a hedge clipper will spend the rest of his life in prison. But this racist piece of shit white cop is appealing a 10yr sentence for shooting a man inside his own home
So many morons in the comments don’t know how appeals work 🙄
It's a WAR between BLACK AND WHITE!
This was fast for an Appeal. Usually takes longer. Umph
. CNN... 'killed an unarmed Black man in his own apartment -- saying she thou' or 'killed an unarmed MAN in his own apartment -- saying she thou' ..
Probably the first white cop who goes to jail for killing a black person 😟 It's so 😔 But at least a beginning, 10 years are better than nothing 😔🤲🏿🖤
She can fuck right off!!
hope they ignore her appeal,,she should be servung life
👏
Hopefully she'll get 20+
She killed someone she took a life senselessly- that’s a fact - an innocent being in his home eating ice cream - like his mom said “The Audacity “ to file an appeal - do your little 5-10 years and let it be damn
For all of you that want her released I can only hope that when she is released she come and lives next to you and your children, I am sure she will be greeted with open arms.
This seems shady I don't think this is the full story
see site presenting inter alia solution of Wave-particle duality through notion of nothingness, search in google by: Gregory Podgorniak
as much as she deserves to face justice for what she did. shame on CNN aswell for not naming the victim..instead going for 'unarmed black man in his home'...really shows they care about the individual who died doesn't it..
It is interesting how you manipulate information choosing pictures. (The nasty and the smiley) You are not journalists, you are propaganda. Goebbels would not do better than you. manipulation
alwaysmyheart2 So much for hugs and forgiveness!
Nope. She killed him but I still say until this day they had a relationship. Take it from a military police that used to work 14 hr days and then drive another hour to get home. Not once did I get lost, fall asleep or pull into the wrong driveway. That was my routine 4 13 years.
Trump gonna get involved?
To assassinate a African American citizen... you are not getting out of jail
You forgotten HIS name already? It was Botham Jean and she murdered him
I hope she gets 20.
Sorry but as a cop supposedly you are observant and diligent. She needs to be in jail for murder. This shows how cops have that shoot first and ask questions later mentality. It’s about time they pay for it. She took a human life and should be punished
I don’t understand why she doesn’t feel she needs jail time. It was due to her negligence of not paying attention to where she was going, entering someone’s else’s property, killing them in their own apartment and expects no consequences.
Read these comments Botham life means nothing to these devils
Black Lives Matter Shirt - $13.95 via amazon
Trump will give her a pardon soon.
While a black man in Luisiana is sentenced to life for stealing clippers, a white woman who intentionally accidentally killed a black man in his own apartment is seeking to overturn 10 year pridon term. The skewing of the system against the blacks never ceases to surprise me.
She should shut up and take her little 10 years which she will only serve 5. When that man will never live again.
She should quickly join BLM and Antifa and she will be released tomorrow.
The pure stupidity is jumping out of her face. Sufficient brain to breath and pee.
She should rot. Why is this even an option? He was home eating ice cream. She shot him. The end.
No, she does not deserve to get out. The door was a different color, the apartment setup was different and she LIED saying he approached her. She shot and killed him while he was sitting on his couch. The forensics proved that. Her own commander told her to stfu with that BS.
Amazes me how killing a human became so acceptable that people actually giving her an excuse! Unless you are a criminal, your first reaction shouldnt be a fatal shot.. i dont know how that brother forgave her crime. Should be life sentence at least
Just wondering how much trust I can have in a cop who can’t find his own appartment.
Never a good sign when your lawyer builds your defense off of a Monty Python premise.
Still took an innocent life, mistake or not. There must be consequences for actions. Plenty of people locked up for far less egregious actions, with much longer sentences.
what the shit fuck
If the roles were reversed and he would have killed her would he be in jail at this time.
They should give her a life.
Nope.
Bollocks
Stop over floggging this issue. Would she had shot if it were a white man that was found in her supposed room? Nope!
That result will be interesting to watch.
It's a black body killed, just apologize and everything should be fine😎
She does drugs
No
I’m pumped
BLM................. fuck everyone
The appellate court may increase her sentence.Its a gamble by her attorneys to appeal a light sentence.
Unfair, her sentence was already a joke for such serious crime.. she did kill a human being without a second thought ... and yet she’s not properly convicted of the crime! 10 years!!! And now filing an appeal?! racism black_lives_matter
An Appeal is common practice. I just hope I the Appellate Court does not think she was harshly punished. 10 years is way too lenient of a sentence.
If the table had been reversed we would have this conversation.
🤨
She will get off... This is America.... land of the free (to treat black people as less than human.... Animals have more fucking rights!) And home of the EXTREMELY CORRUPT LAW ENFORCEMENT WHO ARE WHITE SUPREMACIST IN UNIFORM... i truly hope you... nvrmind! God is watching!
It must be justified in whole or in part. In any case, 10 years is a lot for her. The prison term must be changed to a suspended one.
They will free her. Is it not judges and lawyers work? Someone must have advised her with assurance. The bereaved fmly should also apply for compensation for government given security work and gun to drunkard/lunatic
Hmmm I am spotting a trend of race based stories from CNN and WAPO. Why not she killed an unarmed man? 🤔 for consistency wouldn't you say a white woman Amber guyger if you really needed to, which you don't 🤔
She is trying to play the race game. Her 10 years was just too lenient and very passive. Her crime was 100% murder. Planned,and executed in her wish and will power. It was in her every intention to kill and color this murder. It was ridiculous,projected to confuse the courts.
ZimbweanLivesMatter
juliekanealii I have never in my life been so shit faced to mistake someone else's house or apartment as mine..What the fuck was she on?
The court must as matter of law, review her sentence to a harsher sentence to make sure she understands that People's life's matters. She can't be given a lesser sentence.
Of course she has. Those were crocodile tears on the stand. She never thought she did anything wrong or deserved any punishment whatsoever. Typical white cop.
I would never accept that at her age,and as an officer of law, she would make such mistake as not physically knowing her residence. And even pulling gun and shooting at a person just like that?How many dogs and cats have she shot on her way before? Is she a lunatic? Drug addict?
The narrative used to be, Jay walking, suspected to have presented fake $20 bill, entering into uncompleted building, sleeping in your car on the drivethru. All these happens outside, now they get into blacks home to murder them. Speechless!!!
What the court should actually have done was to review all her activities and actions and every arrest she made, jobs done in her capacity as an officer from day of recruitment to day she was relieved. She should be investigated thoroughly to find if she had not killed others.
Coldblooded killer! 10 years?! This is racially motivated and she needs 25 to life! Police or not!
A child knows his or her parents residence and will even point it out to perents while driving past their house. The child would say, mom ,dad,we are passing our house. Now imagine an officer of law saying she did not recognise her own residence? Even if she is on drugs?
How does 'walking into the wrong apartment' turn into 'shooting an unarmed man' ? WTF It's happened to me before but in my case: a) I didn't have a gun b) I looked around, noticed it wasn't my place, apologised and walked away. WTF?! 🤦♂️
She deserve it....you can't just enter apartment whether its yours or not...and start blasting your gun....the self defense mean someone threatening you...not simply you see stranger eating ice cream and start blasting your gun...she deserve it no need to appeal..
10 is not enough.
As an officer of law the first thing she knows is her residence. Why on earth did she go to a man's house and kill him?. She is very stupid to even say she taught it was her residence. Which means she is in love with the man she hates? These American courts are funny.
She intentionally killed some one with her PROFFESIONAL ADVANTAGE. GOT LESS SENTENCE AND IS STILL APPEALING IT, WHAT DOES SHE WANT? GO JEAN FREE? How can some not know her own residence? Even dogs,and cats know their residence 20 miles away.This officer never told the Truth.
Judge felt sorry for her because she was a woman. She must’ve cried a lot at trial.
What happened to “I am a police officer. Identify yourself.” “Oops wrong apartment, wrong furniture, wrong decision”
WTF she should be given life imprisonment. Guess because she was a police officer that her sentence was not so corresponding to the crime
Amerikkkan Injustice System.
This situation happened to a friend. Someone drunkenly walked into his apartment one night. Luckily the intruder was a harmless neighbor. Lock your doors people.
A man had his appeal for reducing a life sentence for stealing hedge clippers denied. He’s black. Amber Guyger is appealing a murder conviction for killing a man in his own home, He was black. Amber Guyger is white. Anyone see a pattern here? What utter BS.
Talk about injustice..... This Officer only served the minimum sentence of something he caused. Where’s the justice in that? And people wonder why cops receive hate? Get rid of the bad apples and you’ll see change.
No matter what, she did not have to kill him
Like see, U walk in, did the man try to assault U, No! Was he taking any stuff/money? No! Was all the damned furniture the same? No! She literally killed a man for no apparent reason and tis can be counted as murder! Why does she hv his house keys even?
rasicm 101
Sorry, 10 years is not enough.
This killer should have gotten life in prison. Amerikkka Justice.
There was a hero in this tragedy. The younger brother of the victim. I welled up when he asked the judge for permission to hug the cop that killed his brother. It was one of the BIGGEST impact things I saw on TV. Should have made more of that kids brave actions.She appreciated it
How do you walk into someone else's place thinking it's yours
I bet his brother said he’ll write a letter of recommendation
She should have never been a cop to begin with. If your first reaction to someone eating ice cream and watching TV is to start shooting you have mental problems. This is a TRAINED police officer who forgot where she goes home to EVERY NIGHT and KILLED a man as a result.
Outrageous
WHAT IF A BLANK PERSON KILLS A WHITE GIRL AND EXPLAINS THAT HE THOUGHT THAT IS HIS HOME？？？
No
RIP Botham Jean
Didn’t I read she rendered NO aid after she shot him and instead called her lover? She’s the worst
Let's see: Drunkassed cop walks into the wrong apartment and kills the unarmed occupant, and she claims she 'had the right to act in deadly force.' Is that about right? I'm calling bullshit on this one.
They really only gave her 10 years for straight up murdering that innocent man
Privilege and the same judge is going to grant it just watch
It really sounds like NONE of the people that commented watched the televised court hearings, or you wouldn’t be making your uniformed comments.
Well of course..
They should give her 20 more just for the fucking audacity
Pathétique!
This is fucking ridiculous she fucking shot someone and killed him, that’s murder number one, she was a police officer someone that should be trained not to shoot instantly, he was unarmed and she killed him, That is murder. No exceptions
Guilty as charged....
She looks down syndrome
一個不幸的悲劇，兩個不幸的人。
The arrogance of this woman.
Boyyy people could come up with some things🤦🏾♀️ really nah😒
I hope she ends up turning tricks in prison
Justice has many twists and turns and many faces! How on earth could she walk in another man's apartment unless she is utterly careless. Secondly, the victim was mudered in his home. Im no lawyer. I think she should serve 2 sentences! At least 25 years.
Johanvanderslam Why? Doesn't she feel taking a man's life deserves ten years - she was a cop, right?
Of course she did! This is the textbook definition of White Privilege. She killed a human being in his own home. If the victim was white, she would not ask for her conviction to be overturned.
Sorry
Johanvanderslam Give her life.
10yrs!! She should have gotten life!!!!
Just do the time and accept your punishment
Intended to kill from go to woe ! Life !!!!!!
Of course...
I'm sorry but how do you not know your own apartment I mean I worked nights and raised my kids. Many times lived on coffee & 3 hrs of sleep but I never went into the wrong apartment.
I would like to see her be freed. She was doing her job and made a tragic mistake. The right thing to do is to restore her independence.
If you wanna kill somebody,just hire the neighbor who lives upper or below .....It costs the least...
Only 10 years? For killing a man in his own house
She is a horrible person! I hope they reject her request
She’s guilty of murder. What is she appealing?
Don't apartments have number on doors anymore? Yes its possible to mistake an apartment if one is new. This is just plan stupid. Serve the officer right. She should get a longer sentence. Police brutality.
She’s lucky she only got 10 years.
There many places to get lost in but not your own apartment....what she went to the fifth floor while she lives on the second...
How do you walk into' your' apartment and not notice the smell,the objects..etc...I call bull💩
Everything can look the same but not the keys, how did she get in?
So What
We can see what race he is . Why is this always the main focus of the issue ? What about the black guy that punched a wheelchair bound white guy ?
If you don't recognise your own home a mental institution would be a better fit than gaol.
She needs to be in jail for the rest of her life. If she is released and gets her job back, then she will kill again and make another excuse.
Oh, so she didn’t kill him? 🤔
The audacity 🤬
Entering another persons apartment and thinking it is yours is surely only plausible if the choice of furniture & decor, together with its layout is nearly identical! Surely photographs from both apartments were presented as evidence to show how 'identical' they were!
She probably realizes she will be killed in prison. 🙂
Good thing she didnt attempt to steal hedge clippers
Should've been a mandatory 20 yr sentence. BothamJean BlackLivesMatter
I’ve never been that exhausted She murdered a son, brother, a successful young man with his whole life in front of him
May karma present her with exactly what she deserves
The man she killed didn't get to live 10 years.
She should get life without parole.
She should serve full term just like the rest of who would commit such a crime
think relationship gone wrong she not accept. all light switch of wall near open door can be turned on without having body in doorway. also neighbor said there was conversation.
Must have been drunk out of her mind. No excuse.
She needs to do her time. She should be grateful it’s not a longer sentence. Privilege
Not buying her defence, sorry. Even things about the building would have looked different.
😂😂😂
I thought you were about to tell us Ms. Rona accidentally entered her cell and shot her with Covid-19. 👀🤷♀️
Why?
Someone’s hoping for a pardon. Knowing dumbass, she’ll probably get one.
👎
Of course.
She exemplifies a major problem with law enforcement officers - Shoot First, ask questions later. Automatically she Shoots To Kill. That needs to change.
She should've gotten life.
and she didn't recognize her neighbor at all?
Sounds about White. 🙄
If she gets it reduced the brother’ll prolly hug her for that too 🙄
No, she should have been sentenced for more than ten years. She pretty much broke into this man house and shot him in cold blood. She knew that it was not her apartment.
Don't do shots with her !
She deserves to have her appeal granted, freeing her from prison if her victim can be granted a release from death and reunited with his loved ones!
Why the need to describe him by his race? He was an unarmed man.
This is the big problem in America. 10 years for killing an unarmed African American in his own home. No life sentences in prison. ThisIsAmerica -_- that one song.
Damn this devil will be out in no time.
It was a tragic mistake. She’ll have to do time just to forgive herself and I’d let it be in poorest Africa like Niger or Burkina Faso serving the saddest of humans.
Psst! She got off light at the onset.
Race aside, profession aside. She carried a gun and was reckless and irresponsible to the point of causing the death of another person. Judge her on careless disregard. DUI drivers who kill people got to jail. Same thing here. If you carry a gun, you are held to a higher level
She is so guilty
we’ve forgotten about ole girl
CNN you are just pissing me off with this shitty news, everything black man, black woman,
I know it’s a moot point, but if I walked into what I thought (🙄) was my home and saw a strange man sitting on the couch eating ice cream, I would run and call the police, not shoot him FFS. Also, once she was inside, how could she think she was home ie different furniture etc?
Racist pukkke.
Let the b***h rot.
Bad timing.
American justice is attempting again to be unjust. A deceased human of hue not here to plead justice on their personal behalf. Potentially may be unjustly presented as part of the justification for your own injustice. This is American justice, not amiable justice.
So she still won't say what really happened. Give her an additional 10yrs!!!
Oh please!!
She should have gotten life. She murdered a man in his own apartment.
In California they are releasing 16,000 criminals, thugs, and rapists from prison. But on Sunday, they might arrest Pastor Rob McCoy for holding church ...All while weed shops remain wide open for business.
Ah yes the new excuse from the police. 'Thought this was my house so started shooting.'
Just have the Judge give her another hug.
Of course, she is appealing! what else does she have to do in the next 10 years but jam up the courts. Who is paying for her appeal? Tax dollars!
Of course. Then his brother can give her another hug for killing his brother when she gets out. Some BS!
They going to drop the charges and let her out 🤦🏾♂️. WP
Amber needs to stay where she’s at
THIS MIGHT BE A SETUP THID NEEDS MORE MORE INVESTIGATION.
pretty severe sentence for something that was just a tragic mistake. shes not a threat to society.
You did the crime. Now do the time. Fact is you murdered Botham. 10 years wasn't even enough, and now you want even less. The judge should increase your sentence just for that
She deserves the death penalty what she did was a hate crime.we no longer in the 60s.
It's always about race, until it isn't. Sounds good to me.
She killed a man in his own home. She has no business with a badge and a gun. Slapping her wrists is not punishment enough for this crime.
FAKE NEWS, Trump is still your president!
Thats what the mans life was worth 10 wonder America is Burning.
Nope
Botham Jean. His name is Botham Jean. Death penalty for her.
Wow! It’s like putting a mom and her three kids on the ground for a stolen motorcycle, even though they are driven a mini van!! PoliceBrutality makes no sense!
Should courts increase sentence to curtail frivolous appeals?
Murderer
If they let her out she'll wind up in a box.
'...she thought it was her own residence...' was she always on crack during work hours?!
Apparently this man broke in and hung up pictures of himself and famiky everywhere...
They should return the appeal with a bigger sentence
Now make it 20 years.
Free her
Common practice for anyone convicted in a murder case.
Keep her in prison.
I don't understand how a man sitting on the couch watching TV eating ice cream presents a threat requiring the use of deadly force.
Say his name. Botham Jean should be alive today.
She would’ve realized it wasn’t her apartment as soon as the door was open. You don’t walk in to any apartment, let alone your own apartment, with a loaded gun ready to shoot. You only do that as a cop if you’re going in on a raid with a SWAT team. She has the audacity to appeal
Prediction: She'll win the appeal and she'll get released based on 'time served' and hugged again by everyone on her way out of the prison doors.
She should stay in jail. Period.
