Ex-Dallas Cop Amber Guyger
Paroled 8 Years After Murdering Botham Jean
Published
Ex-Dallas cop Amber Guyger will be leaving lockup after serving only part of her murder sentence … because she’s been granted parole.
The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles confirmed she’ll be released after serving only 7 years of her 10-year sentence for killing Botham Jean.
Back in 2018, Guyger mistakenly entered Jean’s apartment thinking it was hers and — believing he was a burglar — fatally shot Jean inside his own home.
Jean was reportedly sitting on his couch and eating a bowl of ice cream when Guyger stormed inside and shot him in the chest.
She was convicted and sentenced about a year later, and Jean’s brother, Brandt, gave her a hug in court.
Guyger had previously applied for parole in 2024 — once she’d served half of her sentence — but was denied.
No word yet on when exactly she’ll be released.
