Addressing the Criticism
senior Editor: Many people have criticized your stance, arguing that Palmade’s actions where reckless and that he should face the full weight of the law. What do you say to those who feel this way?

He’s devastated by the pain he’s caused. He’s expressed deep regret and a desire to make amends. Punishing him severely won’t bring back what was lost, but it could potentially destroy a man who is already deeply troubled.

Justice needs to be served for the victims, but there also needs to be room for compassion and for rehabilitation.Pierre has recognized the gravity of his mistakes, and I believe with proper support, he can work towards atoning for them.

Dr. Dubois: I hope he can find a path to healing and redemption. I hope he can use his experience to warn others about the dangers of recklessness and addiction.I believe in second chances, and I hope society can find it in their hearts to offer Pierre one as well.
