      Id love to see the full 5 hours of them talking.
      Ive had my experiences with killers. A lot even. And its quite interesting. Brutal sometimes, but also heartwarming and deep. And high, bc those go together.
      I wish more people could do what Paula did. But i know thats not how most people are, so it wont happen anytime soon.
      I dont thin by the way,. that its strength and courage what she did. Its something she had to do. Because that is in her. Well, maybe it is. I guess it depends on what you call strength and courage. If it is part of who you are, there is no choice. You just have to do it. Whatever the consequences.

      He probably 'felt' or thought, he had to do it.
      Thats why the 5 hours, id want to see. Because they might have gotten to this realisation...
      And id sure want to see that.

      Agree and it's also very much a process. One thing I wonder is whether she could've done it (and found closure) by just going to a therapist instead. After all, sometimes those who have wounded us deeply may not be around for us to tell them about the impact of their actions. Other times, they may simply not understand what the big deal is and feel no remorse. What then?

      I knew I had to forgive, or I wouldn't be forgiven... and hence never see my son again. It turned my heart around. Now I have nothing but pity for my ex, and have great peace knowing my son is safe in the joy of heaven.

I've seen wild animals ask humans for help, like the mother deer who stopped a car in the road and gestured for the people inside to follow her.....they did so and she led them to her baby trapped in a barbed wire fence and they helped to free it. The same with whales and dolphins caught in fisher mens nets and they call out for help and people in boats cut them free.

    As a Christian, this brought me to tears. Forgiveness is hard enough but when it’s because of a horrific crime so personal, that’s on a different level and takes a Divine strength to give unconditional forgiveness.
    This was so humbling and I give such respect to the victim’s mom.
    On the flip side and not an excuse for his evil actions, and sometimes difficult to acknowledge is his humanity that showed itself in the meeting.

    I agree with the prosecutor on his “sincerity”! The psychologist sits there and evaluates every word he says and manipulates him to say something else. It says he has been doing that with him for months 🤷‍♀️ That is NOT coming from the heart at all. It’s almost like he coaches him for months to say words and phrases that the therapist knows the mother WANTS to hear.

      And thats based on your vast experience of dealing with killers huh?
      Its not realistic. Sure there are those that do not care about any life. Usually thats not the case either, bc they do care about some, but not at all about others. And even thats rare. Not caring about anyone at all, is extremely rare.
      People do horrible things in the spur of the moment. And they have to live with it afterwards. Thats not easy at all. Most i experienced do have remorse and hate what they did. But as a means of selfpreservation, cannot be open about what they really feel. It would be a bottomless pit. There is a reason so many turn religious. Its the only way to deal with it.
      Guilt forces change.
      And you cannot easily judge remorse. Certainly not in an 8 minute interview for a hearing, or on trial. People say what they have to say by lawyer. Most cant speak about it, at all. So they just go through the motions. Ofcourse that sounds fake, bc it is fake.
      The people most equipped to determine if someone feels remorse are prison workers. They deal with those people 24/7. No psychologist or psychiatrist, let alone anyone in the public based on a 45 minute show, can determine remorse.
      Its not what people say. Its the sounds coming from a closed celldoor at night, that give it away.

      People having killed, but in the spur of the moment (its quite rare if its actually planned long before ( ie in real 'cold blood') find themselves all of a sudden as criminals. Not only to a court of law, but to the general public aswell. To friends,family and if they dont turn away completely, they will want answers.
      But also the person him or herself will want answers. And most come up with an explanation.
      Its very rare that someone just really doesnt care.
      All the others have an internal conflict. Bc almost all of us are raised with the moral of killing being wrong. And we all consider ourselves 'good people', even those who killed. So the self also seeks an explanation and when asked, will provide it eagerly, bc they also want to prove to the outside world that there was a reason. A genuine reason and that they are good people.
      That explanation has nothing to do with feeling remorse. Those are two different things. Connected, sure, but wrt this separated.
      You cant not come up with an explanation AND maintain the notion that you are good. Those two conflict.
      But when asked the right questions, the true feelings may come out. Usually doesnt happen (easily), bc of perpetrator trauma. And thus it is very hard to determine remorse, unless you spend a lot of time with that person. Its little things that give it away. Or, in observation (ie prison workers or in mental institutions) where workers will see it. Its hidden, bc its unlivable.
      The words spoken to the outside; in court and so, are meaningless. They say what they have to say, either bc of the lawyer saying they have to say it, or maybe they are smart enough to know themselves that is how it works.
      Id suspect more remorse in someone in court stumbling over words, not able to say much or anything, but some tears, than someone using great phrases to express remorse. Thats almost always fake.
      Not saying they dont feel remorse. Its just not the settting where one can expect to find it.
      And thats because of self preservation. Killers are after all, human too.
      Wether we like it, or not.
      And having said that; there is a killer in everyone. It just depends on which buttons are pushed. Granted some will take a million buttons and a 1000 years, while others just 1. But that doesnt change the fact.
      These are things people just dont want to see, bc its a mirror that breaks their moral beliefs and ego. And thats probably for the better...
      But it doesnt help in shedding light on all this.
      Maybe that is for the better too. Im still not 100% convinced either way on that, but its made me more mild in judging. And thats a good thing i suppose. Its also more honest.

    Heart-wrenching to see the mom tearfully confront the murderer.

    Her family can tell her she’s stupid for wanting to talk to her daughter’s killer. No one can tell her how to grieve the woman she gave birth to.

    Nothing is going to change for her after he’s gone. The power is letting go, not hanging on

    My brother recently died at the age of 30; he killed a spider once.
    He was in a lot of pain before he died so quite frankly it pisses me off that a brutal killer gets more respect post mortem.
    My family couldn't afford a casket let alone a church service.

    In all of the 48 hours Episodes, I was truly moved to tears. I do believe in forgiveness, but only God can soften our hearts to do this freeing act. Strength and Peace to you Mama of Mitzi🙏❤

    That's pretty emotional.
    One bad decision of going down the wrong path can lead to serious trouble.

    If only they crossed paths before that fateful night. Him seeing such a strong, caring and compassionate woman could’ve sent him on a different path.

    Wow, this was quite a compelling episode. Would love to see more different types of formats like these. When Paula got to meet Johnathan it made her see him as a person and visa versa. I wonder how much we all harbor thoughts in our heads virtually vs more realistically.
