Botham Jean was unlawfully killed by off duty police officer, Amanda Guyger who had 'mistaken' his apartment for hers. Amanda was sentenced to 10 years in prison for murder and whilst there was outrage for the length of the sentencing, members of the public were also outraged by Brandt Jean, Botham's brother's reaction. He publicly forgave Amanda and said that she didn't want her to go to jail.
