Forgiveness...This Is True Forgiveness

Botham Jean's brother forgives, embraces Amber Guyger

A jury sentenced former Dallas police officer Amber Guyger, who was convicted of murdering her neighbor, Bothem Shem Jean in his own home to ten years in prison.
During the 2018 Martin Luther King Day parade a message sent to Guyger said, “When does this end lol”. She responded, “When MLK is dead… oh wait….”

Prosecutors also showed the jury some of Guyger’s alleged social media posts that promoted police violence against civilians. One banner she posted said, “I wear all black to remind you not to mess with me, because I’m already dressed for your funeral.”

Attorneys representing the Jean family in a civil suit said the new evidence showed Guyger’s true intent.

“We believe that it paints a completely different picture than the crying, tearful, remorseful person who was on the stage,” said lawyer Lee Merritt.

“The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” ― Mahatma Gandhi “Forgiveness has nothing to do with absolving a criminal of his crime. It has everything to do with relieving oneself of the burden of being a victim--letting go of the pain and transforming oneself from victim to survivor.” ― C.R. Strahan, “To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.” ―C.S. Lewis
