Forgiveness doesn’t mean letting them out of jail.

“This is a difficult one because I don’t want to tread on the lived experience of the families.
The podcast poses the question: Does everyone deserve a second chance? If “second chance” means should they be let out of prison the answer is no for these first two seasons. Especially the second. I was honestly relieved to learn Moore had died in prison. It seemed he was still repeating some of his conspiracies about Log Haven until the end. In the finale for the second season the host asks how he can be sure if someone is sincere and the host admits we can’t be sure. My stance is this: I don’t think we should have gambled any more lives on his “second chance.” On something we know we can’t know.
If the victims family wanted to forgive him and that is great. They are wonderful people. I couldn’t do it. But I don’t know how forgiveness become synonymous with helping him get out of prison. Honestly letting him work a print shop job in jail seems generous after a senseless double homicide.
IMO the podcast is kind of a “feel good” podcast and because of that I believe it doesn’t do it’s due diligence in exploring the question of sincerity of either killer. Both killers had only one way out. That justifies extreme skepticism. Moore’s seemingly opportunistic conversion to the LDS faith put it over the top for me.
Honestly the biggest take away from the second season is how cruel it is to make victims families show up to these parole hearings to make sure the sentences are followed.
I honestly worry that this podcast will cause people to develop unhealthy relationships with abusers. Because one of the biggest common denominators among all abusers is manipulative apologies.”
