God can have a softer heart toward murderers, He will forgive them if they repent.
that He will however, He won’t stop the wheels of justice from being carried out as it should be- Carla Fay Tucker found that out- God forgave her heinous crimes, but she still had to be executed. People have to obey the law- when they don’t, there are consequences- sometimes very severe consequences
I believe that the Son of Sam murderer got saved, but even he knows that he must live in prison for the rest of his life, and I believe said that he felt he should be put to death-
