Here's the thing about justice, straight from me to you - justice won't do a single thing for the dead. Because the dead are gone. Nothing we do here is going to matter to them. Nothing we do is going to bring them back, nothing we do is going to make it up to them, and if you think they're watching us from on high and waiting for the end of days to be reunited with us, you need to stop dreaming.

The real purpose of justice is to benefit the living. It's catharsis at best, and some sort of court-sanctioned vengeance otherwise. Nothing we do is for the dead, when it comes down to it.

Making a mockery of them is tasteless, sure. But it's got nothing to do with the dead and everything to do with what we think of it. Trust me, Valjean wouldn't have wanted that, but right now? It's pretty safe to say Valjean doesn't care.
