"Because I know everything. If judges knew everything, absolutely everything, they

couldn't judge, either: they would understand everything, and their hearts would

Answer:

compassion

Step-by-step explanation:

The supporting evidence in the passage:

" If judges knew everything, absolutely everything, they couldn't judge, either: they would understand everything, and their hearts would ache."

God refused to judge the defendant because He knew that Kugler would have been a good person under different circumstances. The passage shows God's compassion for Kugler.
