The miscarriage of justice saga continues. 

On December 23, 2019, federal judge Barbara Lynn sided with the City of Dallas and threw out the wrongful death lawsuit filed against it by the family of Bothan Shem Jean’s family.

In September 2018, Botham Jean was shot and killed by Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger — while eating cereal in his apartment.

Low Hanging Fruits

The case was doomed to fail from the start. The Jean family hired to represent them attorneys who are used to picking the low-hanging fruits–instead of hiring aggressive trial attorneys.

If an attorney, for the most part, only claim to fame is signing settlement forms drafted by city attorneys, then there isn’t much of a chance that a client will benefit at all — if a city decides to resist a shakedown based on public pressure and outcry.

The Jean family somehow got hooked up with the Three Amigos: Ben Crump (from Trayvon Martin fame — easy settlement case), Lee Merritt, and Daryl Washington. What these cats failed to realize is this: If the city punishes a killer cop by sending him/her to prison, then they will not pay a settlement without a fight from capable City Attorneys.

Plus, in Texas, they say everything is bigger — including racism and bigotry.

Brandt Jean, the younger brother of murdered victim Botham Jean, thought that hugging convicted killer cop Amber would net him a substantial financial settlement, but he was wrong. Horney little bastard.

The Three Amigos sued the city, claiming that it failed to provide “Superior training to Amber Guyger.”

What a load of crap.

How about bringing a case based upon the fact that Guyger drove a City vehicle to the scene of the crime, she was in uniform and used a City-issued weapon to murder Jean while he was (unarmed) eating cereal in his apartment.

Dingbats.

Attorney Washington, the brighter of the “Three,” said they fight ahead on behalf of the Jean family.

Amber Guyger was off-duty at the time, but it has always been our argument that when she took Botham Jean’s life, she was on-duty,” Jean’s family’s attorney Daryl Washington said. “She testified that she responded to what she thought was a crime and whenever an officer says they respond to a crime, they are considered back on duty… the Supreme Court has ruled on this before.

Guyger could be released on probation in two years from sentencing.
