<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Attorneys representing the family of &num;BothamJean say they have served notice to the City Of &num;Dallas informing officials they plan to sue&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;

thinking she was encountering an intruder in her apartment&comma; which she claims she mistook for Jean’s&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Guyger&comma; who lived one floor below Jean&comma; was fired from the police department on Monday by Dallas Police Chief &num;ReneeHall&period; She has also been charged with manslaughter&comma; but the charge could change once the case is reviewed by a grand jury&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">As we previously reported&comma; many people have criticized Guyger’s story including Allie Jean&comma; Botham Jean’s mother&comma; who said&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Somebody has to be crazy not to realize that they walked into the wrong apartment&period; He’s a bachelor&period; Things are different inside&period;” She continued&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;And if you try your key and it doesn’t work&comma; that should make you realize you’re at the wrong apartment&period; Every door for each apartment is also numbered&period;”<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Since the shooting multiple search warrants were issued for Botham’s apartment&comma; and his lawyers are upset about one of the warrants becoming a public record&period; Out of all the warrants issued&comma; his lawyers find it interesting that the one the judge signed off on to make public was one that lists several items found in his home&comma; including marijuana&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Botham’s family lawyers weren’t even given a heads up that the warrant was now out there for everyone to access&period; His attorneys claim that it doesn’t matter whose marijuana it is at the end of the day because he’s the victim in all of this&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">Jean&comma; who is a native of St&period; Lucia&comma; graduated from Harding University in Arkansas in 2016&period; He remained in the states after getting an internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers in Dallas&comma; where he worked in the risk assurance department&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon; 400&semi;">&num;Roommates&comma; we’ll keep you updated on this story&period;<&sol;span><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><span style&equals;"font-weight&colon;
