the judge from hell / ep6.

if in the previous weeks' episodes we saw how the criminal (both of which were heinous abusers) disappearing can bring relief to the victims,

this week we see that it may not always be the case. with the wrongdoer dead, the remaining family don't even have anyone to actively direct their anger and grief and anguish towards.

the fact that he got away 'easy', that he simply died without facing his punishment only adds to that sense of emptiness, because while we get to see justitia dishing out equal suffering to the criminal, these people don't.

much like how their neighbor says that prayers may be for the living more than for the sake of the dead — the culprit receiving the right legal punishment, at times, may be more about appeasing and comforting the souls of the victims and the bereaved (as in the case of this family murder) than it is for actually punishing the wrongdoer.

daon understands that feeling more than anyone else, which is why he is so adamant about having the murderer punished legally (and also because he's a detective lol, he literally says that himself in this episode).
