Dallas policewoman gets 10 years for murder; 'I forgive you,' victim's brother says



AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Wednesday by a Texas jury that found her guilty of murder for walking into a neighbor's apartment thinking it was her own and shooting him as he ate ice cream.

The jury came to its verdict in less than six hours on Tuesday, convicting Guyger, who is white, in the 2018 killing of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old black PwC accountant. His death sparked street protests last year, particularly when prosecutors initially opted to bring the lesser charge of manslaughter against Guyger, 31.

The sentence was less than the 28 years prosecutors had sought. Judge Tammy Kemp said the jury had imposed no fine.

parole in 5

I wonder how much would it cost if she would claim that she shot in the dark cuz there is another recent story about a man who shot after a burglar as he ran from his house and the home owner would then go to bed but by early morning, found out that the stray bullet in the dark had hit the back of the burglar's neck and killed him.
