Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, is headed to appeal her 10- year sentence for killing Botham Jean

in 2018 next week. Guyger was found guilty of shooting

and killing Botham after she got off the elevator on the wrong floor and walked into his apartment, and mistook

him as an intruder. According to reports from CBS Dallas,

Guyger’s former Attorney Toby Shook advised she will be arguing in front of a three-judge panel that she made a mistake killing Botham and that her conviction should have been a lesser offense of criminally negligent homicide instead of murder. The appeal will be heard by a three judge panel that will listen to arguments and render a decision at a later date.
