Allison Jean said she respected the jury's decision to sentence the former Dallas police officer who killed her son, Botham, to 10 years in prison. But his life was 'more valuable than 10 years,' she said.
But his life was"more valuable than 10 years," she said Thursday. Jurors this week found Amber Guyger, 31, guilty of murder for fatally shooting Botham Jean, 26, in his Dallas apartment in 2018.Guyger said she mistakenly entered Jean's apartment, which was one floor above hers, and thought she saw an intruder. Prosecutors said she missed numerous signs that she was on the wrong floor and apartment and was more concerned with her own life and career than the dying Jean.
— S. Lee Merritt, Esq. October 3, 2019 "I think it sends a message to America how people are treated, how victims are treated," Jean said. 'I really felt Botham's presence'After Guyger was sentenced, Botham's 18-year-old brother, Brandt, said he forgave her and didn't want her to go to prison."I love you just like anyone else," he said."I'm not going to say I hope you rot and die, just like my brother did. ... I personally want the best for you.
