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.
