she was only convicted 5 years ago. htf was she up for parole on a murder conviction?

 

 

oooo   forgot that she was given 10 years, but somehow eligible for parole after just 5.    nice to see shes got at least 2 more years behind bars.  but that original sentence was bullshit. it should have been 15+ and more like 20

In Texas for a 3G offense (most severe cases), you’re only eligible for parole after serving at least 50% of your time, provided you weren’t sentenced LWOP or death. For other crimes you can be eligible for parole earlier, but as a general rule if you’re sentenced to prison time you’re gonna have to serve at least half of the sentence behind bars. A lot of parolees get locked up again anyway, the parole system is pretty fucked and designed to make people fail. 
 

This bitch deserved it though.

They probably are.  Guyger didn't appear (obviously) and she wasn't even represented by counsel (she surely can't afford a lawyer).  So, this was a "trial" against an opponent that had already forfeited. The plaintiff just had to put on evidence sufficient to get the damages awarded.

Too bad the family won’t ever see a dime. Guyger is judgement proof and since cops don’t have professional liability insurance, this is all for show.

Also, this:

An attorney for the family said a favorable verdict also sends a message to other officers about thinking before they pull the trigger.

Best thing that ever happened to her career, she got way more well-known after.

In more "on the job" cases, I believe City of Dallas provides attorneys and some coverage through Texas Municipal League.  Maybe that's changed or TML has declined coverage given the recent spate of cop foolishness in Dallas and elsewhere in the state.
