Complaint filed against Tammy Kemp, judge who offered Bible to Botham Jean's killer after sentencing
Texas judge Tammy Kemp offered a Bible to Amber Guyger after sentencing her October 1 for the murder of her neighbor, Botham Jean. The next day, the Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a letter of complaint with a Texas judicial conduct commission.
Kemp sentenced Guyger, a police officer, to ten years in prison. Shortly before, Brandt Jean, brother of the victim, had hugged Guyger and told her he forgave her.
The FFRF, a watchdog group that works to protect the separation of church and state, said the judge’s actions were “inappropriate and unconstitutional” because she was acting in an official rather than a private role.
