Yennifer took a deep breath and continued, "Did he make a mistake? Yes. Did he deserve to be punished? Yes. Did it have to be brought to court? Yes.

"But was the death penalty reasonable? I believe in the fairness of the law, but I also believe that if there hadn't been those stirring up public anger to pressure the judiciary, his sentence might have had some room for reconsideration."

Had it not been for the relentless pursuit by the Middleton, Davis, Swanson, and Collins families, Xander might not have been pushed to that extreme.
