I once heard of a woman caught in the act of adultery.
The law, at that time, required her to be put to death.
But the man to whom she was brought for judgement, was merciful. He reminded the accusers that they also were guilty of sins that the law condemned.
Though merciful, the man did not tell the woman to continue to sin. HE said, Go, and sin no more,
I never heard anything more about this woman, but I am pretty sure she cleaned up her act (repented).
Perhaps Stacey repented as well. We are all sinners and need to repent and we need mercy.
