Return of the Prodigal Son (Rembrandt) |
For Brandt Jean, this was not imaginary. His brother Botham was killed a year ago by a neighbor who mistook his apartment for her own. Dallas
policewoman Amber Guyger then thought that Botham was an intruder, and fired at him in alleged self-defense.
Just a few days ago, Guyger was “sentenced to 10 years.” Brandt Jean was in the courtroom and amazingly asked the judge if he could give Amber a hug. Permission was
granted, and the world can now see what forgiveness looks like.
