This is monumental misunderstanding of criminal law. This was not just the taking of a person’s life. It is a capital crime against society. This is not a question of seeking personal revenge. This is about a greater need to protect society.
Society has a right to prosecute a murderer, whether or not the victim’s family and/or friends agree.

Arrest, try, convict and execute. Invite the family to watch the execution.
