[quote=Anonymous]People change.

In my early twenties I worked as a waitress in a diner. Most of the cooks had a record, ranging from drug dealing to (yes) murder. Often you find people with dark pasts are working hard to improve themselves and not slip back into that past.

I say if he has never done anything harmful towards you/family, you should give him the benefit of the doubt.

By all means have a private, polite discussion with him and your mom about your worries. Dont 'confront' him, just try to get an idea of the circumstances behind his act and what he has been through to deal with it. You might find he isnt the monster you see him as, but rather a man dealing with a painful situation.

Also, I work with a vulnerable population nowadays, and its important to note that 90% of murders are not random attacks. I dont say this to excuse his crime or blame his victim, but rather to say these events are almost always the outcome of a tragic series of events for all involved with myriad causes. Likely, he is holding in a lot of personal pain and in a better place where hopefully he can find some peace.[/quote]
