And what do you say if this were her wishes?? Do you then say we have caused this woman suffering and it was a travesty? The courts heard evidence that they thought overwhelming enough not to believe the husband had ill intentions. I go with the courts on this one they were more privy to information concerning this case than I.

No, why would I say such a thing?
If your screen name implies you believe in absolute justice in this world, I'd say there is little hope of finding it. Since even reasonable people disagree on just about everything, worldly justice is relative. If everyone agreed, there would be no debate.

There would also be no need for law. The law does not prevent lawlessness. The law only points out that lawlessness has occurred.

It appears that you are very dedicated to the law. That is a noble cause. But as thinking humans, it is our duty to question unjust laws. If we do not, than we are nothing more than automatons.

If an unjust judge proclaims that every citizen shall put to death every first born child, that would be the law. To not comply would make you a law breaker. Subject to whatever penalty the judge imposed.

According to your past posts, it would seem that you would comply with the order because it is the LAW. I am not assuming you would, but your reasoning implies that the law is the law and is to be obeyed, and you will staunchly defend the law with your dying breath. Right or Wrong

I am not attacking your right to your opinion, but I am trying to understand your reasoning. Because I have had many experiences in my life, and held different opinions at different ages, I can usually relate to the opinions of others.
