- Botham Jean's brother Brandt Jean forgave and embraced Amber Guyger after his victim impact statement.
Here's more of Brandt Jean's statement:
"If you truly are sorry, I can speak for myself, I forgive and I know if you go to God and ask him, he will forgive you. And I don't think anyone can say it, again I'm speaking for myself... but I love you just like anyone else. And I'm not gonna say I hope you rot and die just like my brother did but I presently want the best for you. And I wasn't going to ever say this in front of my family or anyone, but I don't even want you to go to jail. I want the best for you, because I know that's exactly what Botham would want you to do. And the best would be to give your life to Christ. I'm not going to say anything else. I think giving your life to Christ would be the best thing that Botham would want you to do. Again I love you as a person and I don't wish anything bad on you. I don't know if this is possible, but can I give her a hug, please? Please?"

He's a better man than me, I would never be able to be so forgiving. Even judge had to shed a tear.
If you don't forgive how is the most high supposed to forgive you for you sins
ditto
I agree but he did this for him not her ..shows he's a better person and for her not to forget that ...
@@ritaspera384 If that is the case: a win-win situation dont you think....?
T Br because he’s the most high, we are only humans.
He's only 18 yrs old. I know we can learn about forgiveness from this young man. So inspiring.
Lucy Boo817 yeah but it’s more than likely racist people won’t. So it’s pointless.
@Ashlei Stevenson YOU ARE POINTLESS!!! Blacks have been forgiving whites for 400+ years and where has it gotten them. Go back to your stolen, " Little WHITE House on the Praire" Laura. This is REAL life for people of color. If you CANT wear the shoes how can you tell how they feel? GTH!!!
@@bjbahamajamaica2305 How is blaming white people for the sins of their ancestors and stereotyping them based on the 1% helping anyone? It's true there are people still suffering from the actions of the past but blindly looking for someone to blame isnt the answer. You're being extremely racist.
@@straykitkat And for the record. Even a BLIND man could see the issues in this world. Dont have to LOOK for someone to blame. Its called educating yourself on real history and truth............but warning........they say the truth hurts. Hope i didnt hurt ya buddy!😂
@@straykitkat Are you saying 1% of whites are racist? Or 1% of whites act on hate?! If so, either ignorance and white privilege has YOUR RACIST head in the WHITE clouds!!!😂😂😂
It would be great if law enforcement showed that kind of empathy with the people.
Well when they do, they tend to die look at sandeep dhaliwal
Amen!
Facts
Kimo Andrews yes!!!!
You’re speaking truth.
"Holding on to hatred is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
-Buddha
Yeah that’s why we have so many millionaires because they built a product or tech from being so happy not to prove something to someone who told them they were nothing
If someone murdered my brother, I'm hating them. Period, end of story. lol
@@drea94 I would too, but I still respect him for being able to forgive. It's amazing .
Kwum aix what land
@Ashlei Stevenson there's a difference between hating the actions of racist people vs hating people just because of their ethnicity
He’s a better person than I could ever be. I swear I’m not crying, it’s allergies.
Ditto! Guyger and her family aren't worthy of this kind of forgiveness! ;-(
@@Fiero425 Because they white? wow
Tanya I liked how you said it
Whoa!!!
@@Fiero425 they're really NOT!
I Have to Admit!
That Young Brother is a Better Man than I am!
How so ?
@@lordbison then you my friend are better man
His brother would have wanted the same. No one expected him so say the words he did. Powerful stuff people may say things but the words came from his heart. Respect ✊🏾
I haven't cried this hard since my father passed away 7 yrs ago. He threw her the life raft after she killed his brother. No judgement. Only love and forgiveness. Absolutely remarkable.
Crying is for beta males.

@@gary00333 please stop mentioning religion in different comments, no one cares the video isn't about Christianity
truth I’ll pray for you. It seems your heart is dark right now. Look, the world is not all evil. If it was, it would have ended years ago. Like I said I’ll say a prayer for you. That your dark heart gets bright again!!
This just speaks to the character of the Jean Family
Top notch family.
@Angie B this is true but the first step of healing is forgiveness
@@jjayguy23 They are stronger than most
Angie B I don’t know if I could forgive her, but it is a sin to not forgive someone!
It sure does
This is what grace and mercy looks like when you don’t earned it nor deserve it.... it just given to you freely
denyssmith05 So true amen ❤🙏
denyssmith05 Exactly! Well said.
You are right, this is spiritual and the world can't see it or understand it
I agree. So many here do not understand unconditional forgiveness because they've never accepted Chist's unconditional forgiveness. What a beautiful thing it is.
Amen
That young man doesn’t know it but he just single handedly healed so many people around the world ! Blessings to all of them !

If he was my bro id box dung his rass, bout heal, you white ppl go about life thinking that you own the world, but i have news for you, there is a time of reckoning slowly approaching ......
@Maurice Peterson Never. Everything he said would have been reverse if Black.
Amen
He didn't heal me. And I think it's betrayal if you ask me. She's not family.
These are words from a man that truly is after God's heart. 😢
Stop believing in fairytales!

He's 100% a true Christian. There are many fake Christians in the world, he's one of the few who follow exactly what the bible says.
While I applaud his actions, I doubt that they would be so forgiving if the shoe were on the other foot.

derrick porter say it again 🎤
I don't understand how people are upset by his action, he lost his brother, not us!! His feelings and words are powerful
You're joking right?
They don't know Jesus. It is that simple
@@9290SC I think a lot of people don't know Jesus, that is why they are approving his actions. Jesus would have followed the law. Not hugged the murderer.
Matthew 5:17-20
Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
@@enicole1203 The law was for the israelite nation....living under a theocracy. Surely, JESUS has come to fulfill that law....He said love your enemy and pray for them. Just how can you love and harbor hate at the same time?? Eye for an eye, right?
@@enicole1203 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life" (1 Timothy 1:12-16).
Probably the most powerful statement of faith and forgiveness ever seen in a courtroom.....
Well said
@Curtis Majors: Blame the 5 blacks, the Hispanics/Asians [total of 5] and the two whites on the jury who meted out the sentence of 10 years. What Brandt Jean did was a sign of strength not weakness. And to say his comments are going to make "innocent black people target of violences" is beyond words. That is an absolute lie.....you have nothing to back up that statement.....just "feelings"......
This young man has made me reflect at the anger in my own heart. He is far wiser than me.
I found this online. James 2:13-----Because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.”--Yes the woman will go to prison, that is the judgement. But the mans MERCY is a far more powerful .
Thank you for this 💕Amen
Linda Burkowski Amen 🙏🏽
Amen 🙏🏽
So you're quoting something from a fictitious work of literature that was contrived by frauds who used religion to exert their power over commoners.
Zenigundam Not the time or place to spark a debate. Even though that’s facts.
This is just a testament to how these men were raised!!! This shows what we lost by losing Botham. A GREAT, BLACK MAN!
Seek treatment,,,,,,,,,,,,? You must hate blackmem
And she didn't deserve it.
He is a GREAT MAN!
The Face Bullie on point!!!!
I agree with how these men were raised, but to specify that he was a “black man” reversed the efforts of MLK and identifies your own prejudice. We are to be known by the content of our character and not the color of our skin..... according to MLK. Too bad you have ignored that. This crime was based on ignorance and stupidity, not racism.
He is single-handedly the reason amber got 10 years when she deserved 30.
yup
The mother & Father brought up amazing children , so humble, caring & Forgivers .......Amen Brother

@@Kay-sg9pq Racists be racists I guess
SO THIS "ACT OF LOVE" WILL STOP HOW MANY HATE FILLED MURDERS IN THE FUTURE??????
@@AA-in4iv Everything is not for us to know, but the emotionally intelligent is perfectly okay with that.
This made me cry and question how unforgiving I felt towards Amber. It made me take a look at myself. What a strong, beautiful young man in Christ who taught us all a lesson.
I have no right to insert my emotions where they are not needed. You said it well.
Yes he did. He changed my mind and heart. Couldn’t help but get choked up. Well said by you and him.
That's a MAN with a heart right there. Much Respect young man
Amen

I'm a cry baby I get it! Lol
Me, too, man. Could not hold back.
I'm a teary eyed guy, though. Many things can make me cry.
I was thinking what a wuss then I watched the hug and yep I’m a wuss
All I can say is Wow! What a wonderful display of what it truly means to be a Christian. Beautiful and very touching ❤
I judged him for not feeling angry at his brother’s murderer, but then realized that I’m completely wrong and he’s completely right.
He’s a rare example of true Christianity.
This young man is mature beyond his years.
This is nothing but God's work
he is a fool periodd.
true
Its the Lord
This young man is broken.
This young man is the epitome of being Christ-like.
This really made me cry, he had to do this for himself to be able to grieve
I'm not religious but I love his message
We should all be there for each other
Amen🙋♀️🙏

I agree. I said the same thing. It was more for him
@@katrinalisa7008 Sista.......
I don’t believe you have to forgive in order to move on. Some actions are utterly unforgivable. Doesn’t mean you have to harbor a grudge or hatred about. I think the notion of being told you must forgive to be happy is frankly bs and is incredibly misleading. But that’s just my opinion🤷🏾♀️
He’s gods number 1 pick in the 2020 rapture draft
Underrated comment😂💯
Not u though since u promote gambling
The most powerful display of human forgiveness I have ever seen. That young man is very special.

@@millerwaf he is seeing in God's eyes. Jesus was accused of being mentally ill
He's better than me because that I couldn't do it.
I wouldn't.
@John in the sense of him being so forgiven he's better than me in that sense simply bcause I know me & I'm not there Yet. #workInprogress
That young man is better than all of us. He must have had some brother...
We know he's a better man than you. Cause most blacks would never forgive a White person for a mistake.
A strong Christian man.
Forgiveness is for oneself. It’s the key to healing. I commend this young man.
So were They ever forgiving for Lynchings and burning at the stake? Y'all blacks are WEAK ASF
You're right about that,I commend him as well.
U
That’s the hardest thing to do after knowing all the facts I gotta say he’s more a man than most people claim to be
he is not more a man than most. a real man, a real person would have been still upset. it takes time to forgive someone of such a heinous crime. I think he said those things bc he has lost it. he is not thinking right anymore.
monica webster i dont think that being mad defines a man...
Christ isn't real nor is religion. Science explains all. This moment was only dramatic because we wanted to see if he was going to attack her when they embraced, which is why the police officer was 3 feet away.
Zenigundam cool
Let people believe what they want to believe
Zenigundam science explains some, not all. Religion is for some, not all. Be kind and accepting, we are all just trying to do our best.
I Support This Young Man's Decision...
The Spirit of The Lord was Moving in That Courtroom Today.
The Lord And His Servant Has Spoken.
Pray for Forgiveness And Let's Remember This Young Man Legacy.... Prayers For Everyone Involved in This Terrible Tragedy.

William Kimmons sounds like white supremacists Christian mumbo jumbo.
William Kimmons I agree, what this young black man did takes more moral (human integrity) than all the vindictive hangmen nooses on this earth. FYI. Saul aka Paul of Tarsus was “NEVER” in the inner circle of the Christ. Read Matthew chapter 10; where every single discipline that the Christ called aka Apostle was named. Saul aka Paul of Tarsus was “NOT” named among them. There was never more than 12; not 13 as would have been the case if Saul aka Paul was a REAL Apostle.

I can't remember seeing anything more moving than this young man's heart felt statement of forgiveness to his brother's convicted killer.. An example for every practicing Christian.

Can't walk through life with your head in the sand either.
With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword.”-Matthew 26:51-52
This takes so much strength! My heart sank into my stomach. There's nothing more powerful than what Botham's brother did here.
Mr. Marshall what makes you say that?
@Mr. Marshall Area 51 is calling you.
@Troy Desole So, you know what he needs to do to begin to heal? I bet if you were in that boat, you would eventually want a person to forgive you. Prisoners say it all the time, that they pray that the family can forgive them, because they are no longer the same person they were when they took a life.
Nah not powerful but weak and soft. She would have never done that if the shoe was on the other foot. Just made our race look weak
@Mr. Marshall Thank you sir well said. What a weak clown for hugging and hoping your brothers killer doesnt go to jail and find christ an imaginary man in the sky

I pray for the best for this young man and his family going forward.
Quite possibly this is the most Christ-like spirit I've ever seen. Way to lift Him up, young man!
Definitely was not expecting that. Simply speechless.
What 10 years? My boy got 10 years for stealing a tv. Another got 15 years for trying just trying to get in an ATM machine wth. But I know they were both black. Dam JuStUs Dept.
What a great young man!
Whenever you see Crump, there is forgiveness and payout.
Absolutely powerful scene. This is the most selfless and moving moment I've seen in a long time!!
Please don't lose sight of his first sentence - "If you are truly sorry..." If she regrets with all her heart he can forgive. It is not "selfless" it is two selves meeting in redemption.
islanti well not everyone believes in stuff without proof
I cant even be mad at her no more....I got chill!!!Young man you taught me something today
Juif Nor shut up Amber will be back sexting after this trial
@@jedidjab4346 you are entitled to your own opinion but I doubt you have any moral ground to dispute that young man.....enjoy your day
I felt it the most for the family that lost Bo and I was angry as well but hearing this wow forgiveness isn't easy but this young man is strong.
@@marcella_luv8291 so if someone gunned down someone you loved in cold blood while he sat in his own house, you would just forgive them?
Well stated!
This young man's light is so bright, he's touching people all across the country.
@Overton Jones
I'm not hateful at all.
A perfect example of how to display the character of Christ!
Courtney Agreed 100%

Wow.. this is powerful stuff ... Forgiving moment shows he has closure.
Axix Graham True closure begins when she pays for her crimes at the fullest extent
@@karensbadapples8337 not true.
@@karensbadapples8337 imagine if just 45% of Americans lived like this.
Sundiata Jackson I suppose you want her to walk away with minimal consequences
No all I'm saying he's forgiven her...and he needs closure.
Even the judge was crying.
judge judy would not have put up with that nonsense
Amen brother. Simple and pure words full of grace and truth. Loved the hug to show you meant it as well. Christ's grace on display
Why so many dislikes!? What Brandt did takes the courage of 1,000 men. He has a bright future ahead of him and I truly wish the best for him and his family.
Wow.......the true definition of love......
That was powerful I couldn't hold back the tears
10 years instead life is all the love she need
Wow what an amazing soul I’m completely speechless. The I love you part broke my heart if we could all be so forgiving imagine the world we would live in. This out of the mouth of a 20 year old. Again wow
As the world sees color, forgiveness is colorblnded.
Like Jesus his Lord, he crucified his own hurt and pain for the sake of another. Pure love. That is a MAN right there-imitating THE Man.
Joshua Charles Amen!
Aye
Amen 🙏🏾
Not just imitating, but fully embodying christlike ideals. I'm not even religious but man when you guys do it right you /really/ do it right, this was incredible to witness.
Man that takes courage, that is a very spiritual young man, when I see this I see a future, the best in humanity just come out in his actions.
brick wall yes very spiritual at it’s best!
Maybe a future peace ambassador for the UN...
That takes self loathing and cowardice, nothing brave about a fool!
@@4411825 you would never understand man, just move on if you don't 👍
What if I told you the Bible is a control mechanism especially for situations like this. They gave you the Bible and Jesus to make you docile and to buy themselves more and more time. Meanwhile they still taking over the world killing and stealing.
This is why we will never be taken seriously. This is sad. Man i am gonna pray tonight for my people to realize this is counterproductive.😐
I absolutely agree.
Than be mad when they give them probation
Church is what taught us how to forgive our oppressors smh.
Right my brother.
Yup!!!
Perhaps the most
memorable moment
of this entire affair.
He has my admiration.
That was powerful.
Out of the mouth of a oppressor. They don't STOP.!!
Jerry Fleming I don’t think anyone cares for your admiration, bud. Her punishment will serve as a fine example
If you read this and you still haven't given up your life to Christ, don't wait any longer. He will forgive you and give you the power to forgive even your enemies :)
Wow! Even the judge shed a tear dam this was deep. So much respect for this young brother I appreciate what you just showed here. Wow!
The judge shed a tear because she is bias!
(Same race as the victim)
@@felipevega224 She's crying because he forgave and is hugging the woman who took his brother's life. You're ignorant!
@@felipevega224 nah man you sound messed up , I believe if a different race it would be the same reaction man. It's called feelings that was deep that young brother told her I love you , I don't want you to go to jail, I don't want anything bad happening to you, man you need to listen that was very powerful it took alot for this young brother to go on the stand and say this.
This is a powerful human moment. I won't undermind it with today's commentary. I'm truly floored. Unbelievable
Ndea Monk so was Malcolm x speech and Martin lurther king and still many of us were killed after that wake up white America will always be the same
Parents raises some nice boys. This takes a lot of courage. We need more people like him in this world, imagine how wonderful this earth would be

THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS
It leads to nothing.
The power of his Lord and Savior, who he (and his family) accepted into his life long before this tragic event even occurred.
Yeah a dead brother and a hug from his murderer....some great power there...😑
@@multyz1 it leads to you not holding a crippling grudge that will be holding you down your whole life.
@@multyz1 forgiveness is literally the key to letting go and happiness. Why hold on to hate and poison?
Powerful. The power of forgiveness and the faith his brother has in Christ. May Amber repent and give her lfe to Christ. May sge receive the mercy to carry on.
Christ isn't real nor is religion. Science explains all. And it wasn't "powerful", it was just dramatic because we wanted to see if he was going to attack her when they embraced, which is why the police officer was 3 feet away.
@@RobbieStacks90 Christ is real - you saw that in the brother's response to her. And in your anger without Christ.
Youre blind
Oh dear Jesus your spirit was in that court room today😭😭😭✝️🙏
He had to of impacted the jury. I know if I was on the jury and having to come up with a year what he said would of affected me in some way. I would of given her more years but what he said would of affected me if I was on that jury . One knowing that ten years she would be able to get out a lot sooner, so I would of given her more but still would of affected me. He is a great man and only eighteen years old
His statement was made after the jury gave her 10 years and had no bearing on her sentence.
Amen!
Your sick
It most definitely was NOT
Seeing a judge wipe her tears away shows how strong his forgiveness was.
Not anyone can forgive...need strong persone
Even when facing the devil,,we are so forgiving
and thats our downfall
It's our curse
We,... who?
@@AndyonBlast Couldn't finish the video... he turned over and showed his belly to the oppressor. If his black brother killed a white woman he'd be on death row. Disgusting
@@shellie5617 anybody who see spirituality in this man young action is a bad statement for christianity
This brought tears to my eyes. This is what true forgiveness looks like. Christians forgive!
