Oct. 2 (UPI) -- Former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in prison Wednesday for the fatal shooting of an unarmed man in his apartment last year.
The sentence was less than half of the 28-year prison term prosecutors had suggested for Guyger after she was convicted of murder for shooting and killing 26-year-old Botham Jean in his apartment on Sept. 6, 2018, after saying she mistook Jean's apartment for her own and thought he was a burglar.
