Forgiveness does not mean that he does not want justice, only that he is trying to move on.

I think I understand you, but I think you are in error.
Forgiveness is cancelling the debt of justice that is owed.

My definition of forgiveness is just letting go of anger and hatred towards someone who has injured you. It happens in your heart, and does not have any further implications. I could forgive someone for causing me injury, and still support an appropriate legal penalty for the action. I see them as 2 entirely different types of forgiveness. Just my opinion of course.
