Happy Story for once about a crime...?

This is so unusual I chose to make it a subject about where its vital to not follow the letter of the law, but a nobler spirit of brotherhood.

WFTV has posted a startling surveillance video from a convenience store in Florida, with the caption: "An apologetic Florida thief allowed the store clerk he was robbing to call 911 when the 60-year-old said she thought was having a heart attack. (April 13)"

Not only did he try to call for her on the land line, but let her get her
cell phone when it wouldn't work. He didn't even finish committing the crime as well as letting her call! An announcement should be put on the TV by Governor Jeb Bush if necessary, whoever has the authority, saying, "Whoever you are in this film, you know who you are. Be aware you have been pardoned in absentia for this act. The record has been purged. Forget it and tell no one. You have another chance, turn your life around and sin no more." :) :)

This is especially true if he has no major prior record. There is a good soul there and deserves such a chance in my own opinion, fwiw. With today's news so numbingly pessimistic, I wanted to single this out.
