[Romans:] Protesters taking to the streets in Dallas after former police officer Amber Guyger was sentenced to 10 years for murdering her unarmed black neighbor. The scene inside the courtroom was extraordinary with a stunning moment of forgiveness from the brother of the victim. We get more from CNN's Ed Lavandera.
[Ed Lavandera, Cnn Correspondent:] Dave and Christine, the drama that unfolded at the end of the Amber Guyger murder trial is unlike anything that we've ever seen. A range of emotions that went from anger to sadness to forgiveness.
[Judge Tammy Kemp, 204th District Court, Dallas, Texas:] We, the jury, find unanimously that the defendant did not cause the death of Botham Jean while under the immediate influence of sudden passion arising from inadequate cause and assess the defendant's punishment at 10 years imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
[Lavandera:] The words left Botham Jean's family appearing dismayed and shocked. Amber Guyger sentenced to 10 years in prison. She'll be eligible for parole in five years at just the age of 36.
[Protesters:] No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace.
[Lavandera:] Outside the courtroom, the sentenced angered protesters, sparking chants.
[Unidentified Female:] The police departments around the country this is not a joke. This is our lives.
[Lavandera:] But at the same time inside the courtroom, a dramatic scene was unfolding.
[Jean:] I forgive you.
[Lavandera:] Botham Jean's 18-year-old brother Brandt spoke directly to the former Dallas police officer who killed his brother. He told Guyger that he didn't want to see her rot in prison and that he had one request before she was taken to her jail cell.
[Jean:] I love you as a person and I don't wish anything bad on you. I don't know if this is possible but can I give her a hug, please? Please?
[Kemp:] Yes.
[Lavandera:] Guyger's attorney called it humbling and the most amazing moment he had ever seen in a courtroom. The emotion lingered long after the case ended. Judge Tammy Kemp hugged Botham Jean's family and in a rare move, also hugged Amber Guyger, the convicted murderer, and gave her a bible.
[Kemp:] You can have mine. I have three or four more at home. This is the one I use every day. This is your job for the next month.
[Lavandera:] Allison Jean, Botham's mother, shared her hope for how Amber Guyger spends her years in prison.
[Allison Jean, Botham's Mother:] That 10 years in prison is 10 years for her reflection and for her to change her life. If Amber Guyger was trained not to shoot in the heart
[Unidentified Female:] Right, right.
[A. Jean:] my son would be standing here today.
[Unidentified Male:] He was no threat.
[A. Jean:] He was no threat.
[Unidentified Male:] It's a shame.
[A. Jean:] To her. He had no reason to pose a threat to her because he was in his own apartment, in his sanctuary.
[Lavandera:] Botham Jean's mother says her family will never be the same but they must go on living. The hope is the composure and grace shown by her son Brandt in the courtroom today will be the first steps in that long journey Dave and Christine.
[Briggs:] Terrific reporting there, Ed Lavandera. At least people are dead after a World War II era B-17 bomber crashed while trying to land in Connecticut.
[Unidentified Female:] He was way too low. He was way too low. When I ran over to the field and actually a guy had turned around in his car and he was like oh, my god, I thought it was going to land on me.
[Briggs:] Six others on that plane and at least one person on the ground were injured. CNN's Athena Jones with more.
[Athena Jones, Cnn National Correspondent:] Good morning, Christine and Dave. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating what caused this fiery crash that killed seven. This was quite an old plane. A vintage Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress. These were the bombers that helped Allied Forces win World War II. The plane was trying to land when it crashed at the end of the runway at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks just north of Hartford. We know one person on the ground was injured. There were 13 people on board altogether, 10 passengers and three crew members. We know that shortly after takeoff, one of the pilots had asked air traffic control to return to the airfield. Listen to the conversations the pilots had with air traffic control.
[Unidentified Male:] Boeing 93012, we'd like to return to the field. Number 93012, say that again? What is the reason for coming back? Number four engine, we'd like to return. I just want to make sure because we have jet traffic coming in. Can you go or do you need to be on the ground right now?
[Jones:] The B-17 soon crashed running into a deicing facility there on the ground off to the side of the runway. The plane belonged to a Collings Foundation, a private nonprofit foundation dedicated to the preservation and public display of automobile and aviation history. A Wings of Freedom Tour featuring the B-17 and other aircraft was scheduled to take place through Thursday, according to the foundation. The foundation said in a statement to CNN, "The Collings Foundation flight team is fully cooperating with officials to determine the cause of the crash of the B-17 Flying Fortress and will comment further when details become known" Christine, Dave.
[Briggs:] Athena Jones, thank you. Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib courting new controversy with her comments to Detroit's police chief. Tlaib told him he should hire only blacks as facial recognition analysts because she says people who aren't black think all blacks look the same. She made the remarks during a tour of Detroit's Real-Time Crime Center. Police chief James Craig had invited her after Tlaib tweeted her that facial recognition technology was, quote, "BS." Craig rejected Tlaib's suggestion saying he trusts people who are trained regardless of race or gender.
