Five years ago, Jean was killed in his Dallas home by an off-duty officer who said she mistook his apartment for hers.
while eating ice cream after an off-duty police officer entered his Dallas home and took his life. The officer would tell investigators she thought she was entering her own apartment and mistook Jean for an intruder.
So it was things like that that made it really hard in losing him. It felt like, you know, my world went dark when he was killed because there are so many little things that we did that was just missing. At a young age as a teenager, he started song leading at our church, our local church. So any opportunity he got to sing, he would do it. And he tried to bring me and our aunt Desma into it to the point where my cousin, she was getting married, and he wanted us to sing at her wedding and we had rehearsals. He made sure we had rehearsals and recorded it so that he could tell us where we can improve. Like he took singing very seriously.
So I wanted others to read this and to see that, you know, it’s okay. It’s okay to heal from this. You’re not losing your loved one all over again or you’re not forgetting them. You’re healing to get to a point where you can honor them in the best way possible. So a lot of people look at it as justice. But I don’t. I think for killing Botham in the way that she did, ten years is not enough to the point where I have petitioned the DOJ to investigate her federally for violating his civil rights because Botham was only 26-years-old when he died. He was never married, no children, and he was in the prime of his life. He was working on solidifying his career as an accountant, and he was doing everything that he was supposed to do as a young man.
