Amber Guyger, the former Dallas police officer convicted of murder Tuesday in the death of her neighbor, will learn her fate at a sentencing hearing, which opened with emotional testimony from the victim’s mother and revelations that she shared racist and offensive texts and social media posts.
Guyger, 31, who was found guilty in the death of neighbor Botham Jean, faces between five years to life in prison. She is ineligible for probation.
The five-year police veteran lived one floor below Jean, a 26-year-old accountant, in their Dallas apartment complex. She testified that she was off-duty but in uniform when she mistakenly entered his unit in September 2018 after a long shift at work, believed he was a burglar and shot him in the chest, saying she feared for her safety.

In another Pinterest post, Guyger commented under a picture of a Minion from the movie “Despicable Me”: “People are so ungrateful. No one ever thanks me for having the patience not to kill them,” the comment read.
“She feels very bad about it,”… sure she does , she got busted
this is a window into how every pig thinks
I think she thought she would get away with this .. she didn’t “accidentally” enter that mans apartment .. she had an agenda , and it was to murder him , if she doesnt get life , but gets the minimum ..I dont think it will be well received

WOW. THAT BITCHES GOD COMPLEX IS PROBABLY WHY MURDER CHARGES WERE FILED RATHER THAN NEGLIGENT HOMICIDE OR MANSLAUGHTER…

I tried to find out how many weeks she will have to serve before she’s eligible for parole but couldn’t! 😉
“Guyger will have to serve at least half her sentence ― five years ― before she can be considered for parole.”

Thank you, Angel! 🙂 If she does 5 years I’ll be shocked.
Agreed.
I sent in a story before I began commenting this evening that I can’t wait for Trenchers to see. Just waiting for it to be posted.
Doing my best to keep from posting it in these comments because I want everyone to see it. 🙂 😀
I’ll give you a hint.
What is the classic early parole/get out of jail free act/game?
Well, it was handed to her on a silver platter. 😉
so she will be 41 when she gets out and have a whole life ahead of her if she serves the whole sentence
I would have pushed for 60 years. Mr.Jean was 26 and could have very well lived a good long life. The age of 86 is not beyond the reach of a life well lived.
He not only got murdered by her , but robbed too ( with this sentencing)
Agree with you on the minimum of 60 years No parole
Throw her in GP.. we can only wish
