Amber Guyger, ex-Dallas officer who murdered Botham Jean, released after 7 years

Amber Guyger was released from prison on October 16, 2026, after serving seven years of a 10-year sentence for the 2018 murder of Botham Jean. The Texas parole board approved her release despite opposition from Jean's family. This marks a notable early release in a high-profile police-misconduct case, raising questions about parole standards and racial justice in the justice system.
