Botham Jean's mother Allison Jean rejoices following conviction of ex-Dallas police officer Amber Guyger in the fatal shooting of her son.
The mother of Botham Jean, the man shot and killed after former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger mistook his apartment for her own, delivered an emotional victim impact statement to the jury that convicted Guyger as her sentencing phase began.
"I always refer to him as the glue of my three kids," Allison Jean said, referring to his ability to bridge the 20-year gap between his two siblings. After high school, Botham Jean decided to study accounting at Harding University, a private Christian college in Searcy, Arkansas, his mother said. There, he did a lot of missionary-type work and was involved in preaching and singing and was dedicated to helping vulnerable members of the community, such as the elderly and disadvantaged children, his mother said.
During his senior year in college, Botham Jean was hired by multinational professional services firm PricewaterhouseCoopers after what was supposed to be a six-week internship was extended to six months, his mother said.
