Following the sentencing of former Dallas officer Amber Guyger for the murder of her neighbor, the victim’s brother and judge hugged her—the latter of which drew some minor controversy on Twitter.

Judge Tammy Kemp hugged Guyger, who was convicted of shooting and killing Botham Jean. It came after his brother, Brandt Jean, said he forgave her before hugging her.
