Amber Guyger

Lawyers representing the family of Botham Jean have filed a notice of appeal with the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans after a federal judge removed the city of Dallas from their civil rights lawsuit.

The city of Dallas has been dismissed from the Botham Jean wrongful death lawsuit.

The Ellis County district attorney has been appointed and agreed to serve as the special prosecutor in the contempt of court case against Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot.

Botham Jean’s younger brother received an award Tuesday for showing compassion at the end of the trial of Botham's convicted murderer.

Brandt Jean forgave Guyger and gave her a hug at the end of her trial after she was sentenced to 10 years in prison for Botham’s murder. The moment was caught by the camera filming the trial and quickly went viral.

A judge could decide this week if Judge Tammy Kemp will preside over the contempt of court charge she has filed against Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot.

Houston attorney Brian Wice is now leading the battle for Creuzot against Kemp. He said in a court filing the contempt proceedings are “the poisonous fruit of her unconstitutional gag order ... the order did not prohibit interviews or discussing the case with the media.”

A FOX 4 News interview with the Dallas County district attorney has led to a legal dispute that Texas courts likely have not seen before.

Judge Tammy Kemp ordered Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot to appear before her on October 31 for possible contempt after discussing the Guyger case in a FOX4 interview days before the trial began.

Guyger has declared herself “indigent” or poor, and has a new attorney appointed to her for the appeals process.

If the recommendation from a magistrate judge stands, the city of Dallas will be removed from a wrongful death civil rights lawsuit filed by the family of Botham Jean.
