Former police officer Amber Guyger set for parole today

The former police officer convicted of killing an innocent man in his apartment is set to be released from prison today. Amber Geiger served seven of her 10 years in prison for the murder of Botham Jean. She made parole earlier this month. Fox 4's Alex Boye live outside Dallas Police Headquarters with a look at that case. Alex. Hey guys, good morning. You know, later today, former Dallas police officer Amber Geiger will be a free woman. You know, her deadly encounter with Botham Jean happened just two blocks from where I'm standing at the apartment complex where they both lived. Now, I want you to take a look right now at live pictures that we have from one of our photographers who is there set up outside of the entrance to the prison in Gatesville, which is about an hour outside of Waco. You can see all quiet there at the moment. This is where Amber Geiger has been serving her murder sentence. Now, Geiger was convicted and sentenced in the 2018 killing of her upstairs neighbor, Botham Jean. She accidentally entered his apartment instead of her own after a long shift, Geiger thought that Jean was an intruder and shot him. This high-profile case garnered international attention. Jean was from a small island of St. Lucia, and his family often traveled to Dallas over the years to advocate on their son's behalf. Geiger was granted early release after serving a seven-of-her-ten-year prison sentence. She will be assigned a parole officer and receive the specific conditions of her parole following her release today. And I can tell you that my colleague Lori Brown is also en route to the prison and will be covering this story all day long for Fox 4 News. You, of course, can continue to follow the latest developments on her release, Amber Geiger's release, both on air and online. For now, reporting live at DPD headquarters, I'm Alex Boye for Good Day.
