In my opinion there can be no justice without mercy. If punishment is only based on the rules of the law, there is no real justice.
A (maybe stupid but clear) example to make clear what I mean :
A rich man and a poor man both steal a bread. If only the rules of the law are applied, both get the same punishment. This is not justice.
If the judge has mercy, he will give the poor man a less severe punishment. Thàt is justice.
