The 26 year old Korean graduate student had been studying hard for a political science exam. To take a break he went out to mail a letter.

The letter was mailed but he never got back to his apartment.

A gang of violent teenagers were looking for someone to rob so they could go to a dance.

The young Korean was at the wrong place at the wrong time. They robbed and killed him.

The authorities broke the case and arrested the young hoodlums.

They showed no remorse or regret. The fact is they sneered at the policemen who arrested and displayed outright arrogance at their trial.

The members of the Koreans mother took up an offering so she could come to the trial.

Therefore, she was there when they were sentenced to death.

What she did next left many in the courtroom speechless.

She walked forward, fell to her knees in front of the judge and pled that their lives be spared.

What the teenagers did next was their first positive response to the murders.

They began to weep and express their sorrow for what they had done.

Repentance comes slowly with some and sometimes not at all…but when it does come…hand in hand with forgiveness…those angels in heaven sing again.
