My name is Ruth now and I had a brother who was murdered.
I think about it quite frequently.
I think about what a good man he was and what in the awful way he died.
And I think about his murder or two.
He was a young man who didn't seem to understand the value of my brother's life.
He only thought about the year he was going to get for killing him.
I hated him for a long time and I wished him the worst possible kind of life.
But now I'm learning to forget and even if I had the chance I wouldn't want him to be executed.
It wouldn't do nothing for me.
It would do nothing for the rest of my family.
The fact that he's being punished is okay, but to take his life would make no sense.
I think I was the only one who was punished for killing him.

The fact that he's being punished is okay.
And to drink his light would make no sense.
