Justices Press DOJ Over 180 In Crack Case By

Former Dallas County police officer Amber Guyger, who fatally shot beloved worship leader Botham Jean in his apartment in 2018, is seeking to have her murder conviction for his death overturned in favor of a lesser charge of criminally negligent homicide because she believed she was in her own apartment.
A jury found Guyger guilty of murdering Jean and sentenced her to 10 years in prison in 2019. If she is successful in her appeal, and if found guilty of only criminally negligent homicide, she will likely be released as the punishment for that crime is six months to two years in prison.
