Botham Jean’s mother, Allison Jean, told the Dallas Morning News that the appeal has delayed her family’s healing.
“I know everyone has a right of appeal, and I believe she’s utilizing that right. But on the other hand, there is one person who cannot utilize any more rights because she took him away,” Jean told the newspaper.
“So having gotten 10 years, only 10, for killing someone who was in the prime of his life and doing no wrong in the comfort of his home, I believe that she ought to accept, take accountability for it and move on,” she continued.
Botham Jean was only 27 when he was murdered.
