Former Texas police officer Amber Guyger sentenced to 10 years for wrong-apartment shooting. More:
AUSTIN, Texas - Texas prosecutors on Wednesday said a jury should sentence former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger to at least 28 years in prison for mistakenly entering a black neighbor’s apartment and shooting him to death as he ate ice cream.
Jean’s father cried as he told the jury of his intense pain following the murder of his son, who he said brought joy to those around him. Lawyers for the victim’s family said they believed the verdict was the first time a white female police officer had been found guilty of first-degree murder in the killing of an unarmed black man.
State prosecutors hammered at racist and violent text messages and social media posts that Guyger made in the months leading up to Jean’s killing. “I’m going to encourage you that the number you return with should be no lower than 28 years,” Long said. “That is what Botham would have celebrated on Sunday.”
