Truly Amazing!!! The compassion of JESUS!!!
On September 6, 2018, Amber Guyer—an off-duty patrol officer in Dallas—entered the apartment of 26-year-old accountant Botham Jean. She later said she thought it was her own apartment and mistook Jean for a burglar, shooting and killing him.
One year later, on October 1, 2019, she was found guilty of murder. On October 2, she was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Botham Jean’s brother Brandt was allowed to give a victim-impact statement, and he addressed Amber Guyer directly.
Judge Takes The Heat For Giving Amber Guyger a Bible………..
Well, I really am so very thankful for the Judge and her compassion……….we need more of this in America, not less. I really love and respect Judge Tammy Kemp for her compassion. The Bible does scare some people……..they are afraid to face the truth of God’s Word. Please pray for Judge Tammy Kemp, we need more folks like her! The compassion of JESUS!
The Dallas Morning News Reports:
Criminal court sentencings can sometimes resemble church services as criminal defendants try to sway judges with stories of their religious conversions and devotions to God.
But when judges also invoke their religious beliefs in their courtrooms, complaints and controversy usually follow.
Such is the case with State District Judge Tammy Kemp, who presided over the murder trial of Amber Guyger and handed her a Bible on Wednesday after the emotional sentencing hearing. Moments before, the victim’s brother forgave Guyger with an embrace and suggestion that she turn to God.
