A white Dallas police officer convicted of killing a black man in his apartment that she mistook for her own was granted parole yesterday after serving seven years of her 10-year sentence. The Texas Board of Pardons and Parole, which is appointed by Governor Greg Abbott, rejected Amber Guyger’s initial parole request in 2024, but approved her case over the objections of victim Botham Jean ‘s family the first time she was eligible to ask again.
