Lord, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us

Praise God that the jury chose not to take the life of Zacarias Moussaoui. May this be a significant step in the healing of the victims of 9/11 and their families.

From the NY Times article:

Robin Theurkauf, who lost her husband in the World Trade Center and testified for the defense, said in an interview that she was surprised but gratified by the verdict.

Ms. Theurkauf, a divinity student at Yale, said that by showing the jury that some family members were not seeking Mr. Moussaoui's death "we may have given them permission to free themselves from a obligation to respond to the massive grief with vengeance. We allowed them to view the case dispassionately."

I wonder if Ms. Theurkauf is known to any of my YDS buddies.
