The brother of Botham Jean, who was shot and killed by former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, publicly forgave her and asked to hug her in court.

In an emotional scene during the impact statements made in court, Brandt Jean said he forgave Guyger, if she is “truly sorry,” saying, “I know if you go to God and ask Him, He will forgive you.”

“I am speaking for myself,” said Brandt to Guyger, “but I love you, just like anyone else. And I’m not going to say I hope you rot and die, just like my brother did.”  

“I personally want the best for you,” he added, saying his late brother, Botham, would also want the best for Guyger, which would include her giving her “life to Christ.” 

He then twice asked Judge Tammy Kemp if he could give Guyger a hug. With permission from the judge, Brant and Guyger embraced for a long time as she cried on his shoulder.
