Story
Former Dallas Officer Amber Guyger Ordered to Pay $98.65 Million in Historic Verdict
Nov 21, 2024, 12:27 AM
Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was found liable in a civil trial for the 2018 death of Botham Jean and has been ordered to pay $98.65 million in damages to his family. Guyger, who was previously convicted of murder and sentenced to 10 years in prison, fatally shot Jean in his own apartment, claiming she mistook it for her own. The federal jury delivered the historic verdict on Wednesday, awarding nearly double the $54.4 million originally sought by the family. The jury found that Guyger used excessive force, highlighting ongoing issues of racial bias and police accountability. The incident occurred six years ago and has been a focal point in discussions about law enforcement conduct.
