There is a family, mourning the loss of their child because the man across from them, standing before a judge, has been convicted of murder. The man standing before the judge shows no emotion, he does not feel bad for what actions he took, this man feels no empathy for the family. When criminals do or do not show remorse, can create a big impact on whether or not forgiveness…
