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.

Jesus taught to pray, "Father forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against US."
He prayed for His murderers from the Cross - I don't recall Him forgiving Herod for murdering His cousin, John the Baptist.

Christianity is not only about "being nice". Seems to be what it has been reduced to in today's apostate denominations.
