That's a horrible story.

Like that's one of the worst things that a human being could possibly do.

There were so many opportunities for this woman to save this man's life.

And by the way, everyone involved in that court case who had a medical degree said that had she called the cops, the fire department, taken the guy to the hospital, he almost certainly would have survived those injuries.

But given that she didn't for days get him medical aid, he finally did succumb to them, but he probably would have survived, almost certainly would have survived.

Like what she did was about as horrific as what a person could do and just so irresponsible with human life.

And she rightfully got a 50-year prison sentence for that crime.

And yet, despite how horrific that was, what made news just as much as that is that a short time later, that man's son, the man who was hit and killed, publicly forgave that woman for killing his father.

Yes.

At the sentencing said, quote, there's no winners in a case like this.

Just as we all lost Greg, you all will be losing your daughter to her family.

I still want to extend my forgiveness to Shante Mallard, was her name, and let her know that the Mallard family is in my prayers.

And this is the kind of stuff, like you said, that makes the news where I think –

it hits everybody because it makes everybody stop for a second and say, could I do that?

Yes.

Could I reach that point of forgiveness?

And that's a big weighty question because there's all kinds of forgiveness.

There's, you know, a couple partners together who get in a fight and someone says they're sorry for doing a certain thing and they're forgiven or not.

There are,

situations at work where people are forgiven.
