[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shame on the judge for making those remarks as if we should be sorry for the suspects parents. He did not need to make those statements while there were family members of the deceased in the courtroom.

You all don’t get it.  These people who have lost loved ones are people of faith.  In fact, Charleston has an abundance of people of faith.  These people understand repentance and the need for forgiveness.  The families of the victims would be some of the first to take the parents of this killer in their arms and mourn with them.  Did you not hear these family members tell the killer that they forgive them and hope he seeks God love?   The family members are in such pain, but they are God-fearing people who know how hate can eat them up.  And, by the way, the judge did NOT ask people to feel sorry for the parents - he said they need support.  [/quote]
AMEN

That these families did this is of no surprise to me. [/quote]

I always have empathy for a perpetrator's family. Of course the victim's families trump that, but still. As horrible as what he did was (and it was) and even though he is still alive, they have still "lost" him, they have to mourn the boy they thought he was. They will always be branded by his actions. They will have memories of their precious chubby cheeked drooly little baby and then remember that he grew up to murder 9 people in cold blood. They will have guilt, they will question everything they ever did while raising him. I have empathy for them, even if they don't deserve it.[/quote]
