Punishment
I was listening to bits and pieces of the news this morning and I understand some clansman is on trial for an act committed in 1960 something. What came to mind is what would an appropriate punishment be after 30 years have passed. Like in the Kennedy trial for Michael XXXX(something) Kennedy. His crime was committed when he was a teen but is back in court now that he is in his 40's. I know the crime is no less and the pain that a victim's family suffers is no less regardless of time but I have to wonder what's appropriate. Additionally, during these types of trials individuals are asked to recount events that sometimes are more than twenty years old. I can't remember with certainty some things that happened in high school and realize that this issue is certainly complex.
