The problem was that the jail sentence was so minimal (I think he was out again after 3 or 4 years) that it added to the sense of injustice of it all.
Like you say at the end it does often come across as a trait to try and present yourself as 'better' than someone who is unforgiving, and ultimately I don't think it matters if you do or don't forgive someone for something like this, both sides are understandable and fair.

...yeah I do think the jail sentence time in the UK is pretty screwed and that must be so hard for your uncle...but then in the USA, the states that still have death sentencing...around 25years is often served before the death sentence is executed so that’s screwed as well..that someone would be put to death decades after the crime was committed...I understand the reason for the delay as well... but sentencing in general seems pretty screwed up I think..
