Mercy and Justice need to be tempered evenly, forged with the fires of wisdom. Anyone who is a parent and understands some of the reasoning behind why children are not viewed as adults until the age of 18 or 21 depending on where you live and the severity of some crimes they may commit understands why justice must be tempered with mercy.
Societies that rely soley on their power groups form and interpretation of 'Justice' usually end up becoming totalitarian and or dictatorial.
