Free will does not exist in a universe with an omniscient creator. All apparent choices made in the universe are subordinate to the choice of the omniscient creator to create this particular universe in which these particular choice are to be made. If it is merely an omnicient being (i.e not a/the creator), free will is possible for those reasons discussed in the prior thread.
As for free will and responsibility...
If we have free will, then people are responsible for their actions and there is no blame in holding people responsble.
If we do not have free will, then people are not responsible for their actions- including the action of holding others responsible- so there is still no blame in holding peple responsible. He had no coice but to commit a crime, and the various representatives of the justice system had no choice but to take him to trail, sentencing, and execution.
