Because all of the hair stroking by the bailiffs, and hugging by the family, she'll win that appeal.

Murder conviction upheld for ex-Dallas police officer who shot and killed Botham Jean in his home​

"That she was mistaken as to Jean’s status as a resident in his own apartment or a burglar in hers does not change her mental state from intentional or knowing to criminally negligent," the court said. "We decline to rely on Guyger’s misperception of the circumstances leading to her mistaken beliefs as a basis to reform the jury’s verdict in light of the direct evidence of her intent to kill."

A former Dallas police officer who was convicted of killing a Black man after she mistook his apartment for her own six years ago is now eligible for parole.

Amber Guyger was still in uniform when she walked up to Botham Jean’s apartment — which was on the fourth floor, directly above hers on the third — and found the door unlocked.

Jean, an accountant from the Caribbean island nation of St. Lucia, had been eating a bowl of ice cream when Guyger entered his home and fatally shot him. He was unarmed.

Guyger was found guilty in 2019 and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

On Sunday, on what would have been Jean’s 33rd birthday, Guyger qualified for parole having served five years of her sentence, according to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.

Botham’s mother, Allison Jean, believes Guyger should serve her entire prison sentence.

“She’s caused my family tremendous, tremendous hurt, tremendous pain. She ought to remain where she is,” Jean said.

“She needs to serve her entire 10-year term, which is well below a sentence that one receives for murder. Murder of an innocent man in the comfort of his home, doing nothing wrong.”………

i remember all the people who were taking up for her, trying to pass blame on Jean somehow.
I feel like i remember his mom was forgiving, but that doesn't mean she doesn't think Amber should not be properly punished.

It was horrible. This case was one of the reasons I canceled Facebook. Everyone with a brain cell knows it was all race related. She should serve her entire sentence.
