First of all, it was Sun's mother and stepfather who helped him from beginning to end. Sun's first crime was in 1994, when he was less than 18 years old. After committing the crime, his mother and stepfather applied for medical parole for him, which made him gain a free status. I thought he could turn over a new leaf, but I didn't expect Sun to continue committing crimes on 1997 and be sentenced to death. Everyone thinks that he has been sentenced to death.
When her son was sentenced to death, her mother Sun began to discuss with her stepfather how to save lives. After finding an acquaintance, she got Sun out. Although there is no specific description in the news, it should be quite extensive. After all, she is on death row, and it's really scary to get out of the network behind her.
Second, the education of children really can't be inclusive and compromised, otherwise it will be a family. The reason why Sun became like this is definitely not his own fault, but is inseparable from family reasons and parents' reasons. When he committed a crime for the first time, his mother and stepfather chose the worst way to deal with it, that is, tolerance, which made him think in his heart that no matter what he did, as long as he told his stepfather and mother, there would be nothing, which would also lead to many subsequent crimes.
If they punish Sun for his first crime, or even make him bear the corresponding legal consequences, maybe his thoughts and behaviors will change after receiving education. Generally speaking, it was his parents who tolerated him and cheated him.
Finally: Sun's life was not in vain. It is also a warm thing for him to have such a stepfather who loves him.
