‘I forgive you,’ weeping woman tells man convicted of murdering her grandson after losing fistfight
Updated Dec 23, 2020;
Peggy Anderson was standing in a Dauphin County courtroom Wednesday morning, just a few feet from the man who murdered her grandson.
Yet she didn’t rant at Julius Allen, who was about to be sentenced to life in prison for the September 2018 shotgun slaying of Kevin Royster in Harrisburg.
She took a much softer tone.
“I feel sorry for your family,” Anderson said amid her sobs. “I forgive you, because I’m trying to be a good Christian woman and the only way I can go on is to forgive you.”
