After walking into the wrong apartment and shooting the innocent owner, a female police officer from the United States was released on parole after serving 7 years.

Amber Guyger, a policewoman in Dallas, Texas, USA, saw a black man in the house when she came home from get off work on the evening of September 6, 2018, and immediately drew her gun and shot him dead. However, she actually walked into the wrong apartment and shot the innocent owner. This immediately became a topic of social concern. Guyger was sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder in 2019, but she was released on parole on the 16th of this month after serving 7 years.

According to UPI, Geiger returned home after a 15-hour shift that day, but when he took the elevator, he came out of the wrong floor and entered the residence of Botham Shem Jean, a 26-year-old African-American man from St. Lucia. At that time, Jean did not lock the door or turn on the lights. Geiger thought that the man was a thief who had broken into his house and opened fire.

After Guyger made a big mistake, the prosecutor asked the court to sentence her to 28 years in prison, but the judge ultimately ruled that she should be sentenced to 10 years in prison. Keene's brother also hugged Guyger in court to express his understanding, and she was subsequently imprisoned in Gatesville, Texas, prison to serve her sentence.

After serving five years in prison, Geiger applied for parole in 2024 but failed. At that time, more than 6,000 people signed an online petition to express their opposition. Prison consultant Bruce Cameron said that the reason why Guyger was successfully paroled this time should be because she was rejected last time and had good behavior in prison and may be regarded as a model prisoner.

Cameron pointed out that many people may not want to see her paroled, but to be honest, if the sentence is 10 years, parole in the seventh year is already a very appropriate ratio. It is understood that Guyger was 30 years old when she committed the crime and is currently 38 years old. The Texas Parole Board revealed that her application was approved because she was very adaptable to the correctional system and did not commit any violent behavior in prison.
