All she can do is pretend - she doesn't have the authority to forgive them.

[Raymond Hendrix]

Well she has the authority as a Christian to forgive her neighbor as Jesus commanded. And I certainly do not assume that she was so distant from her nephew that it was no big deal for her to chose to forgive rather than condemn. Why do you choose to err on the side of vengence? Why do you refuse to give the woman no credit and assume the worst about her? Maybe she is a big hypocrite but how can you condemn her so lightly because of a few lines in a news report? Jesus never taught his followers to be full of vengence. He said to leave that to God.
