उत्तर
Mrs. Adis didn't hand over Peter Crouch to the keepers because –
- She had forgiven him for unknowingly killing her son.
- She knew that Peter would have never harmed her son otherwise.
- She knew that punishing Peter would not bring her son back; but at least by not handing him over to the keepers, she would be giving him a chance to lead life the right way.
- Mrs. Adis must have thought that her son would have wanted Peter to have a second chance; so in a way, she fulfilled her son's wish.
