I'm so sorry. Now please take these handcuffs off of me: For centuries, the Jewish sages have taught that a man can redeem from punishment by truly repenting for his sins. Apparently, the British government now agrees with that. Under new "restorative justice" plans outlined by the UK government on Tuesday, criminals could avoid jail time and punishment if they simply and publicly apologize to their victims. Ironically, the news comes a week after reports showed a 28 percent rise in violent crime in England. Wonder if Kobe Bryant could just apologize and have his slate swiped clean.
