Botham Jean Versus Amber Guyger Pamela Lillian Valemont

Amber Guyger was an American Dallas Police officer who made the headlines when she murdered Botham Shem Jean on 6th September 2018. She is currently serving a sentence of 10 years for murder and is incarcerated at the Mountain View Unit in Gatesville, northwest of Temple. When it came down to the wires, there was one inescapable fact that brought down a murder conviction: a police officer had ignored her basic training and made a fateful decision: to become the aggressor and advance on the perceived "home invader" when she should instead have retreated, took cover and concealment, then called for police backup. Had she obeyed her training manual, Botham Jean would be alive today.
