Iran Mother shows mercy for Son's killer

Her son's killer stood on a chair on the gallows, his hands shackled, the noose around his neck. Hundreds crowded outside the jailhouse in a northern Iranian town to see if the mother, Samereh Alinejad, would exercise her right to kick the chair out from under him to let him hang. She did not kick the chair out. She slapped him and removed the noose. With that move his death sentence had been commuted. I have to say I'm impressed by that law and the act of the mother. Forgiveness. I don't know if I could have done that.
