An atheist group has filed a complaint against the judge who hugged convicted police officer Amber Guyger in court, saying she violated the constitution by proselytizing and gifting her a bible.

Judge Tammy Kemp hugged Guyger in court after the jury had handed down a 10-year sentence for shooting and killing her neighbor Botham Jean in his own apartment, which Guyger said she had mistakenly entered thinking it was her own.
