2018年进入其公寓并将其击毙的被判谋杀罪的警察于周五早上获释,此前她在监狱中度过了七年。
police officer who was convicted of murdering Botham Jean after entering his apartment and shooting him in 2018 was released from prison on Friday morning after spending seven years in prison.
38岁的安伯·盖伊格(Amber Guyger)在德克萨斯州特赦和假释委员会批准她获释后,仅两周多一点就重获自由,尽管让·博萨姆(Botham Jean)的家人表示反对。
Amber Guyger, 38, regained her freedom a little more than two weeks after the Texas board of pardons and paroles approved her release despite opposition from Jean's family.
这名前警官因谋杀罪于2019年10月1日被判处10年监禁。她的假释获批时间正是判决后恰好七年。
The former officer was sentenced to 10 years in prison after her murder conviction on 1 October 2019. Her parole was approved exactly seven years after that verdict.
盖伊格案因她在2018年9月于达拉斯自己公寓内开枪击毙26岁的让·博萨姆而引起全国关注。
The case against Guyger drew national attention after she fatally shot Jean, 26, inside his own Dallas apartment in September 2018.
在审判期间,盖伊格坚称她在她和让共同居住的公寓楼车库的四楼误停了车。让的公寓位于她楼上的一层。
During her trial, Guyger maintained that she had accidentally parked on the fourth floor of the garage at the apartment complex where she and Jean lived. Jean's apartment was located one floor above hers.
盖伊格作证称,她认为自己走进了自己家时进入了让的公寓。根据她的说法,她试图用钥匙开门时门被推开了。
Guyger testified that she believed she was entering her own residence when she walked into Jean's apartment. According to her account, she attempted to unlock the door with her key when it pushed open.
她声称自己误将让当成了小偷,因担心生命安全而开枪。让在盖伊格进入并当场将其击毙时,正在他公寓里吃冰淇淋并看电视。
She claimed she mistook Jean for a burglar and fired her weapon because she feared for her life. Jean had been eating ice cream and watching television in his apartment when Guyger entered and shot him dead.
盖伊格在致命枪击事件三天后被拘留,随后在受审前被达拉斯警察部门开除。
Guyger was taken into custody three days after the deadly shooting and was subsequently dismissed from the Dallas police department before standing trial.

陪审团认定她犯有谋杀罪。她曾面临可能的终身监禁。陪审团最终判处她10年监禁。
A jury found her guilty of murder. She faced a possible sentence of life imprisonment. Jurors ultimately gave her a 10-year prison term.
检方曾主张判处至少28年监禁,选择这个数字是为了代表让当时本应达到的年龄。
Prosecutors had pushed for a minimum of 28 years, choosing that number to represent the age Jean would have reached at the time.
盖伊格于2024年首次申请假释。但假释委员会驳回了她的请求。
Guyger first sought parole in 2024. But the parole board denied her request.
当她再次具备申请资格时,假释委员会改变立场,批准了她的假释,使她能够在监督下完成剩余的刑期。
When she became eligible to apply again, the board reversed course and granted her parole, allowing her to complete the remainder of her sentence under supervision.
在获准假释的决定作出后,让·让的家人向德克萨斯州CBS新闻发表声明,表达他们持续的悲痛并请求隐私。
After the decision granting her parole, Jean's family released a statement to CBS News Texas expressing their continued grief and requesting privacy.
声明中写道:“两天前,博萨姆·让的家人深情地缅怀了他们的儿子和兄弟,并在本应是他生日的那天庆祝了他的生命。”
"Two days ago, the family of Botham Jean lovingly remembered their son and brother and celebrated his life on what would have been his birthday," it read.
声明继续说:“今天有报道称,阿姆伯·盖伊格将被假释,并在监督下服完剩余刑期。博萨姆·让的家人在此刻恳请隐私,以便他们处理这一发展并继续面对悲痛。”
"Today, it was reported that Amber Guyger will be paroled and will serve the remainder of her sentence under supervision. The family of Botham Jean respectfully requests privacy at this time as they process this development and continue to navigate their grief."
声明还说:“对于那些继续念及博萨姆名字、纪念他的生命并传承他记忆的众多善心人士,博萨姆·让的家人向你们表达衷心感谢,感谢你们持续的爱与支持。”虽然盖伊格在周五获释标志着她在2018年杀人案后被羁押时间的结束,但她仍需在剩余刑期内接受监督。
It continued: "To the many well-wishers who continue to say Botham's name, honor his life, and carry his memory forward, the family extends their heartfelt gratitude for your continued love and support." While Guyger's release on Friday marks the end of her time in custody after the 2018 killing, she remains subject to supervision for the remainder of her sentence.
