Complaint Filed Against Judge For Guyger Hug
“We’re not the only ones questioning that hug between Judge Tammy Kemp and Amber Guyger who was sentenced to 10 years for killing Botham Jean. The Freedom From Religion Foundation has filed a complaint against Kemp with the Texas State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The group said Kemp went too far. Kemp has also been criticized by activists who wonder whether a Black defendant would get the same treatment. After what many consider a light sentence, two of the jurors were interviewed by ABC’s Good Morning America about their decision on Guyger’s sentencing. Their comments have also raised eyebrows and have caused many to ask a question about unequal sentencing.”
