Okay, I am back! My opinion, on this topic, like everyone elses' is
complicated. At one time, I probably would have said and emphatic "no" I could never forgive, allow myself to be around them, blah, blah, blah....
But, I have worked around and with killers for so long now, that I have seen that they are just people. That isn't to say that I haven't met some that are just evil, because I have, but for the most part they are just people that lost control.
Now, having said that, would I leave my children with one while I ran to the store, "Hell no", but I could deal with them and spend time with them myself as long as I knew the truth of the circumstance. When one is trying to hide the truth, there is a good reason for them to hide it and it isn't good for you, it is good for them!
I told you it was complicated!

Yes, Quirkyalone ...I Vaguely remember you writing about that.
it must be hard for anybody...but when it's family and you think you know them so well, it's really hard to find something like that out....of course you will always love them, but I am sure anybody will feel a little uneasy or doubtful left alone with them.
Take care.

Hi Symphony--
Those are all interesting and thought provoking questions. I explored a similar issue not too long ago, regarding whether I would want to be alone with my brother now if he were alive. I'm just not sure. Even if someone were 99% sure that they wouldn't be harmed, what if that 1% came true?

Hi just read your article and wanted to let you know I have been watching that show for years. I look forward to watching it every Sunday morning, it was not on this week due to the Olympics, now they are over so I imagine it will be back on next Sunday. I agree with you , I definitely would not want to be involved with an ex-con who murdered someone in a robbery, and I definitely would not want to be his love interest, who know's I could possibly be his next victim. Now look who's imagination is running away with them. I will blame that one on your column. lol Well have to run, so will catch up with you later, have a great day.

If the death was accidental, I might trust again but I would rather not.

I have found that I can forgive people of quite a bit of nasty things. Staying with a person or having anything else to do with them is another matter all together. Murder? I don't know.

it really depends on the circumstances
if it was premeditated then it would be very hard and if i wasn't you would have to wonder if that volatility was still there. You would also have to consider any mitigating circumstances ie self defence, protection of others (ie a soldier in battle), insanity and whether you could live with the whole situation.

Symphony...
I'm thinking it depends on the circumstances of death and if the person has changed his or her life. I think the one thing that I could not forgive, though, is if a person killed a family member by drinking and driving. Even if that person stayed sober from that day forward. There are no circumstances that warrent someone to drink and drive. There is always another alternative!! A robbery, I think I could... I know it's crazy! Not because I support robbing someone, but because of the desparation that must be in the life of the robber!

Symphony,
I don't care if it was a love, family member, or best friend. They know right from wrong, I would never be able to forgive.
