Yes, respect the family’s wishes. However, the government must not agree to immunity as part of the negotiation terms. The due process of the law must run its course so that either side is vindicated. Only then can we think of pardon if it is applicable.
The law must be seen to be blind. Please, I say this with no malice intended.
