Could it be that Nancy has compassion on him because he lost a child, and is a victim in that sense? She shows very little compassion in most of these cases. It seems she is changing her mind about him though. It is never black and white in these cases. JVM said we need to focus more on rehabilitating drug addicts rather than locking them up and paying millions of dollars to house them, and also that just breeds more hard core criminals. Another thing that bothers me is that law enforcement doesn't seem to go after the "kingpins" in these drug cases. Why? They totally ignored the supplier to Misty and Ron in their undercover work.
