00:00 Can you ever imagine a time when you might forgive what they did?

00:03 I don't carry any hate for either of them,

00:06 because hate is such a harmful emotion

00:10 to the person that's holding that.

00:12 But...

00:13 ..with regards to forgiving them, I think that...

00:18 No, no, no, not really.

00:22 Scarlett's mother has thanked you for your compassion.

00:26 I wonder, did you see her in court?

00:30 I've seen her, but not...

00:34 We haven't come face to face, but when I think of their emotions

00:39 and how they're feeling, it just brings back how I felt

00:42 when all this happened in February.

00:45 Because, yeah, she does...

00:47 She looks completely broken, really, and rightly so.

00:51 She's going through an absolutely horrific time.

00:55 Is there anything that you would want to say to her?

00:58 Erm...

00:59 I think that...

01:03 ..I would like to say that...

01:05 ..if she did want to contact me and she does want to speak,

01:11 then I'm open to that.

01:12 I'd like to understand more how their life was

01:19 and what they went through,

01:21 and I also want her to know that I don't blame her

01:26 for what her child's done.

01:27 I'm not blaming her.

01:28 I'm not blaming her.

01:29 I'm not blaming her.
