The United States Supreme Court denied a review of the Botham Jean murder case and Amber Guyger's 10-year prison term.
Jean — who went by"Bo" — sang in a church choir in Dallas, grew up in a devout family on the island nation of St. Lucia and was a beloved friend to many. After sentencing, his brother, Brandt Jean embraced Guyger in court and told her his older brother would have wanted her to turn her life over to Christ. He said if she asked God for forgiveness, she would get it.
In 2021, State Rep. Carl Sherman, of DeSoto, authored The Botham Jean Act in response to Jean's murder. During the 87th Texas Legislative Session, the bill passed both chambers at the Texas Capitol with bipartisan support in late May of that year. Prior to the signing of Bo's Law, a new Dallas street was named in Jean's honor. Botham Jean Boulevard covers a stretch of South Lamar Street from Interstate-30 to South Central Expressway.
