I think we are forced to judge her as well. She gives us what is charged against her and she shows us what she has learned from being in prison. Her being so young they reduced the sentence with chance for parol if there is such a thing in this case. but i pity and love her desire to help people even though her life before was hard. growing up in jail with no mother no father and the guilt of the punishment. devastating.

Fifteen years after the trial are not so much time ago, if you’ve been judged as guilty for sister murder, especially if you’ve barely dodged the hangman. I wonder if Madrygal was really gulty, it seems it wasn’t in truth.
