The family of #BothamJean has been awarded nearly $100 million in the civil trial against former Dallas police officer #AmberGuyger. The settlement was announced after the jurors found that Guyger acted with malice or was reckless in fatally shooting Jean in 2018. ⁣ ⁣ As reported by fox4news in Dallas, the figure includes about $60 million in punitive damages and $38.6 million in compensatory damages. The settlement far exceeds the $54.4 million that the family originally sought. ⁣ ⁣ Guyger, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for Jean's murder, requested not to be present during the hearings.
