Victim's brother hugs Guyger after sentencing

In what is being described as an act of compassion, Brandt Jean, the younger brother of slain unarmed black shooting victim Botham Jean, ask a judge if he could "please" hug Amber Guyger in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday.

Judge Tammy Kemp gave him permission, before the younger Jean and Guyger embraced. Kemp is seen on video wiping tears from her eyes.

Guyger was sentenced by a Texas jury to 10 years in prison on Wednesday after finding her guilty of murder for walking into a neighbor's apartment thinking it was her own and shooting him as he ate ice cream.

The same jury took less than six hours on Tuesday to find Guyger, who is white, guilty in the 2018 killing of Botham Jean, a 26-year-old black accountant. His death sparked street protests last year, particularly when prosecutors initially opted to bring the lesser charge of manslaughter against Guyger, 31.
