Amber Guyger, the former Dallas, Texas, police officer who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2019 after she was convicted of murdering 26-year-old accountant Botham Jean in his own apartment while off-duty on September 6, 2018, was just denied a chance at parole, meaning she will have to wait two more years to try again.

Records reviewed by Law&Crime show that the Texas Board of Pardons and Parole on Thursday set Guyger’s next parole review date for October 2026 after denying her a “favorable parole action.”
