Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, convicted of murdering her neighbor Botham Jean in an apartment mix-up, has been sent to a prison housing Texas' female death row and where several high-profile inmates are locked up, including the woman who gunned down Grammy-winning singer Selena, officials said.
He said the prison also keeps an internal list of high-profile inmates, prisoners who have garnered a lot of media attention. "If someone, hypothetically, were to be a former law enforcement officer ... then they're also asked if they feel that that somehow might jeopardize their safety," Desel said."That's taken into account and we do have a custody level of protective safekeeping."
Guyger, 31, was sentenced to 10 years in prison last week by a Dallas County jury that also convicted her of murder stemming from the fatal shooting of 26-year-old Jean in his apartment at the South Side Flats complex in Dallas. "I personally want the best for you," Brandt Jean told Guyger in the extraordinary act of mercy."I wasn't going to say this in front of my family, I don't even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you because I know that's exactly what Botham would want for you. Give your life to Christ. I think giving your life to Christ is the best thing Botham would want for you.
