[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regardless, the worst punishment for Alec is knowing deep down in his core that he killed a young woman.[/quote]

Unfortunately we all saw how quickly he switched to distancing and denying. This will not sit with him. He has already moved on from it, the ongoing charges were more of a bother to him than anything, I think.

I feel bad for Hutchins' husband and son. [/quote]

Maybe Alec feels it, but his public appearances and statements following her death were callous and completely in the interest of protecting himself.[/quote]

I'm sure he felt extraordinarily awful in the moment, and for weeks and months afterwards. All but the most mentally disturbed of us would feel like the scum of the earth in such circumstances. But he's also wealthy and famous, and highly cancel-able, and since such people are natural targets of public backlash and lawsuits, they are used to spinning. He and his PR team did their best to wiggle out of public opprobrium, and out of a court case, by insisting on the weaknesses of the case. In the end, it's natural human behavior to rationalize to yourself that you are not a murderer, because someone else is at fault (in this case, the armorer). I am certain that now he believes that, to protect his own sanity and manage his life going forward. It would be nice if he could offer sizeable compensation to the family.

Make no mistake, the case has obvious weaknesses, notably that the armorer checks weapons. It was entirely expected that charges would be dismissed. 
She needs to go to jail. She had one job to do.
