Until they start asking for forgiveness, they should not expect any. Felix Epie, USA Surely whether a person is re-integrated into society or not is entirely down to whether they have shown remorse and accepted what they have done is wrong. If someone has served their time they should be forgiven if possible. Tyson, however, shows no remorse, denies his guilt and blames everyone but himself. If he doesn't think he committed a crime then he will probably do the same thing again.
Some crimes are too terrible to ever forgive - like serial murders.
A one-off event could possibly happen to anyone and should not be held against a person indefinitely, but calculated and planned systematic crimes which are repeated are another story entirely. It must surely depend on the crime. Having said that I also believe that a life sentence should mean life. It is rather awful that the Ugandan government did not even try to look into the case. I mean, if it is really true that this guy is a fraudster, I wonder what he would do when he is elected president.
