Brandt Jean, the brother of slain St. Lucian businessman Botham Jean,hugged former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger in a Texas courtroom after a jury sentenced her to 10 years in prison.
Then, in an astonishing act of compassion, he then asked the judge if he could also hug Guyger.
Brandt and a sobbing Guyger then both stood up, met in front of the bench and embraced for a long period of time. The judge and the majority of the courtroom wiped away tears as they hugged.
"If you truly are sorry, I forgive you. I know if you go to God and ask him he will forgive you,’ Brandt said to Guyger in the courtroom.
"I love you just like anyone else. I’m not going to say I hope you rot and die just like my brother did. I want the best for you. I don’t even want you to go to jail.’
