NORTH LITTLE ROCK,Ark.--The mother of an 18-year-old murder victim says she forgives the man accused of killing her daughter.
The shooting rattled a North Little Rock neighborhood earlier this week; many called it an act of domestic violence.
The mother of the victim says this is not the first time she has dealt with the murder of a loved one.
She says she is relying on family and her faith after seeing her brother, her husband and now her daughter murdered in the last few years.
Family pictures lined the table inside the home of an 18-year-old whose life was tragically taken away.
For mother, Yolanda Young, death is nothing new.
"My husband he had an associate's degree, he was murdered," she said. "My brother was murdered, Ron Everhard, in 94, so I've been in the healing process a long time."
She never thought she would see her daughter shot dead on the ground at a home in North Little Rock.
"This is my daughter, this is my first born," said Yolanda.

The problem is the whole communities they live in. Where is the community coming down on them that murder is not acceptable.
Is it her place to forgive? The violence was against her daughter, not her.

I think her place ought to be in an asylum for the insane. The only people I despise more than violent criminals and traitors are people who “forgive” them. Freaking pious morons!
A capital murder charge ANYWHERE is almost always a no-bail charge.
This guy has a long record and likely the mugshot and bail is from an earlier arrest for a lesser offense.
Arkansas doesn’t seem like a place where capital murder is treated lightly, unless of course the perp is a Clinton operative.
Perhaps, but the blurb says:
Charges:
Capital Murder
• Bond: 830.00
Christ is a pious moron? I tease you, of course. No one is without redemption. I understand your position and tend to agree, but I do not think we are meant to live with this animosity in our hearts. It will eat you up. That said, I do not believe that personal forgiveness means that no punishment is to be meted out either. I think I can, and should forgive the guy who steals from me, but that does not mean he goes free. Christ forgave the thief on the cross next to him but he never said, “Let him down, I forgive him.”
it amazes me that they think they have the power to forgive the pain of some one else. This mother can forgive the pain the murderer caused her but she or anyone else except the victim can forgive this jackass. Guess they have to be judged no forgiveness for his acts. I wonder if even Jesus has the power to forgive such actions..
