Must-Watch: Brother Of Man Killed By Female Cop Gives Shattering Speech Of Forgiveness

In one of the most powerful moments seen in an American court in decades, the younger brother of Botham Jean, the young black man who was mistakenly shot and killed by Dallas police officer Amber Guyger when she thought he was in her apartment, told Guyger after she was sentenced to 10 years in prison that he forgave her and hoped the court would not send her to jail, asked the judge if he could hug her, and asked that she devote her life to Jesus Christ.

Brandt Jean said emotionally, “I wasn’t ever going to say this in front of my family or anyone, but I don’t even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you because I know that’s exactly what Botham would want you to do. And the best would be to give your life to Christ. I’m not going to say anything else. I think giving your life to Christ would be the best thing that Botham would want you to do. Again, I love you as a person and I don’t wish anything bad on you.”
