He's in interesting company. A local criminal was sent to prison for five years on the charge of perjury in his trial for rape and murder where he was acquitted. They couldn't retry him after a video tape of his own crime surfaced but they could give him the maximum sentence for perjury.
When he was released from prison, he was asked if he felt like he got away with anything. He was confident that divine providence had intervened in his trail. He said it was God's will that he be found not guilty. "God had other plans" for him, he said.
It wasn't much later that I read in the newspaper that he was found dead in his home of a heart attack.
"So much for 'God's plans' for him." I remember musing.
Perhaps this is a pattern of criminals who manage to get away with murder or other crimes. They see "God's will" in their acquittal. No doubt, that's easier than admitting they did something wrong and justice would require more from them.
