Sorry the man should have been hung for his crimes.
We are fair to soft today hence to many people in prison.

You're asking the wrong person, Skunkie my friend. I'm a Christian of the born-again kind (as most regulars on this board are well aware!). I believe in forgiveness and restoration for all people while they are alive, and judgement and damnation only after death. And I believe that our responsibility is to find our own forgiveness and restoration while we are alive, and to help others find the same, not to hasten them towards a meeting with their maker.
As for horrible things happening to my family: Well, our family has had more than its share of tragedy, though thankfully not a murder. So I'll thank you not to assume how I might react to it. Being a Christian is about recognising the right thing to do, and then calling on divine strength in order to do it. Still, when bad things have happened, I am glad to say I was adult enough to recognise that it was a good thing that it was not my responsiblity to meet out retribution/punishment/whatever.
