Botham Jean’s Family Hopes His Murderer’s Verdict ‘Sets A Powerful Precedent’

On September, 6, 2018, Botham Jean, a Black man who worked as an accountant and served as a church choir director, was shot and killed by a white police officer in his own home because she mistook his apartment for hers. A little over a year later, on Tuesday (October 1), a Texas jury found Amber Guyger guilty of his murder.
