Judge Tammy Kemp and the Personal Bible Controversy

The hosts critique Judge Tammy Kemp for coming off the bench to hug Amber Guyger and gifting her a personal Bible. They also highlight a Black female bailiff who was seen stroking Guyger's hair. Mo argues these actions were "buffoonish" and highly inappropriate for officers of the court, noting the painful imagery of Black officials consoling a convicted white murderer.
