Afterward: after re-reading my letter, I now realize why Ross's apology to the judge, where he "begged for forgiveness" and "apologized" before his sentencing was not sufficient. It is heart-breaking to understand this. It is Ross's virtue and goodness that made him insufferable to the Judge. It was never about the crimes or breaking the law. She sentenced him out of resentment, and the reality that she is a "less good person than Ross". This emotionally enraged the Judge, and she acted out of resentment. No apology would temper her resentment.
