In electrifying courtroom scene, Brandt Jean forgives and embraces his brother's killer

This happened today in a Dallas courtroom. That man, Brandt Jean, was permitted to give a victim’s impact statement after the sentencing of Amber Guyger, an ex-cop convicted of killing his brother, Botham. Guyger opened the door to Botham Jean’s apartment, thinking it was her own, and shot him as an intruder. She was given ten years in prison for her deed.

Put down what you’re doing and watch this three-minute clip. I hope that I can one day be half the man, and half the Christian, that Brandt Jean is. The courage will take your breath away.
