Being a Christian myself I guess that I am reluctant to "demand justice". Now if I was the judge in this case then I would be expected to render justice regardless. There is a place for the judge and also a place for the Christian to show some love here. I am surprised that a fellow Christian (I assume that you are one) would immediately focus your attention on the aunt and call her an idiot. I for one was greatly impressed once when a certain woman just lost her daughter to an angry husband who had just murdered her a week before when she asked the congregation to pray for the man. Anyone could have excused the woman if she had felt differently and I certainly can excuse the other relatives for their reaction. However the aunt is not to be condemned for her Christian love. She is not the enemy here.

She was emotionally overwrought and misrepresented Christianity in her rambling outburst. Denial of the magnitude of the brutal crime and the unsavory circumstances of her "awesome" nephew's own association with his murderers is not forgiveness, despite her claim. It was not her place to forgive them. Praying for them is another story, but pretending to forgive them is idiocy.
