I saw a trial a few years ago where a young man was on trial for murdering another teenager. The murdered boy's mother was facing his murder. The boy was crying. He said, "please, forive me." There was a pause. The boy's mother said, "I have already forgiven you."

The boy was not executed. Death was not allowed to begat death.

I get tired of people right before they put someone to death say some crap about not forgiving them and satan is ready for them. As if that person in that 10 year staging booth couldn't find God and be at peace with everything? you know so to that person I say Kudos. I mean a death for a death is only 2 deaths and won't bring anyone back, won't bring closure and only revenge.

It was Jesus who said," So it was once written, an eye for an eye. Now I tell you, that if your brother hits you on the right cheek, then give him the left cheek too". I think that about sums it up, ya reckon?

So, what kind of justice did the mother of the slain teenager get?

Sounds like she got a whole lot of nothing. Does that sound fair?
