Muslim Man Forgives His Son’s Killer in Court, Brings Everyone to Tears

A lesson in forgiveness.

It was an emotional moment for everyone in court when the father of a murdered pizza delivery driver, Salahuddin Jitmoud, expressed forgiveness towards the man who took his life.

The mother of Jitmoud’s killer also spoke in court, offering her sincerest apologies to the Jitmoud’s for what transpired. She also gave thanks for how much they had comforted her and her family during that difficult time.

The courtroom was so moved by Mr. Jitmoud’s forgiveness that the judge called for a brief recess so she could collect herself.

Salahuddin Jitmoud’s killer received a sentence of 31 years for his crime.
