General Discussion

It was unclear whether the Jean family would ever see any of the money, but its legal team said what mattered more was holding Ms. Guyger liable in a civil court.
“I think this jury sent the message loud and clear, that they are not going to tolerate police brutality,” Daryl Washington, one of the family’s lawyers, told reporters. “And I think that message is going to be heard not only in Dallas, not only in the state of Texas, but throughout this country.”
Ms. Guyger was fired by the Dallas Police Department after the shooting. She was found guilty of murder and sentenced in 2019 to 10 years in prison.
