What about the defendant? Aren't we forgetting him here?
If he doesn't want any of this waiving business. He has got every right to stand up and say "hang on a second - I don't agree with any of this lark. Waiving implies I'm guilty but being let off. I don't agree with the decision of the court. I won't tolerate it - I'm innocent. You can shove your waiving. Its declared innocent or nothing"
What then?
But forgiveness has nothing to do with the offender! It is the sole prerogative of the offended party and theirs only
It doesn't matter if the offender agrees, rejects or is calling you names.
If you forgive, you forgive. Period. You said so yourself.
