The context makes it seem like even if Victor had vouched for Justine’s innocence it would have meant nothing.

“And why should I describe a sorrow which all have felt, and must feel? The time at length arrives when grief is rather an indulgence than a necessity; and the smile that plays upon the lips, although it may be deemed a sacrilege, is not banished.”

The time at length arrives when grief is rather an indulgence than a necessity; and the smile that plays upon the lips, although it may be deemed a sacrilege, is not banished.” This is a quote from chapter 3, in which Victor describes his reaction in the face of his own mother's death. How does it differ to his reaction to Justine's condemnation in chapter 8 when he says, “From the tortures of my own heart, I turned to contemplate the deep and voiceless grief of my Elizabeth
