Here's why the city of Dallas wasn't held liable in the Botham Jean shooting
SUMMARY: A Supreme Court ruling from 1978, known as the Monell Doctrine, protects municipalities like Dallas from financial liability for employees’ unlawful actions, even in severe cases such as the killing of Botham Jean by former police officer Amber Guyger. The jury awarded Jean’s family $98.6 million—$38.6 million in compensatory damages and $60 million in punitive damages—while the city was granted immunity in the lawsuit, despite its role in hiring and training Guyger. This ruling creates high barriers for families pursuing claims against municipalities while highlighting disparities in accountability for wrongful actions by police officers.
The family’s attorney said the city should share in liability with Amber Guyger for hiring her and training her. However, the city filed a motion to be removed from the lawsuit, and it was granted. A Dallas appellate attorney explains why.
