'I did say I forgive and I
do still stand by that
because you have to. That's
one of the things I was
raised on and what my mum
taught me. I feel sorry for
them because they didn't
know what they were doing,
they don't understand the
magnitude of what they've
done.'
(Dominique Walker,
Anthony's sister)
'I have to practice what I preach. I
don't feel any bitterness towards them,
really, truly, all I feel is . . . I feel sad
for the family.'
(Gee Walker)
'Why live a life sentence? Hate
killed my son, so why should I be a
victim too? Not forgiving makes
you a victim and why should I be a
victim? Anthony spent his life
forgiving. His life stood for peace,
love and forgiveness and I brought
them up that way.'
(Gee Walker, Anthony's mother)
Do you think GEE and DOMINIQUE
WALKER were right to forgive
Antony’s killers?
