Are you saying she doesn't regret all her time in jail? Or getting caught? Or being hounded by the media and all the local lynch mobs? Of course,she regrets her crimes. I don't like the woman or what she has done,but "hate the sin and love the sinner" is in the Bible.
Aaah. The Bible. Something which should legitimately NOT be used in debates. Not everyone believes in it, and I hate when people defend a point by quoting the Bible word for word. I was raised Catholic but am no longer religious. So anything the Bible says has no standing with me. But that's another story.
I'm saying she doesn't regret the crimes. Her actions (or lack thereof) have spoken volumes. She has not showed in any way that she is remorseful. To say that she regrets it is an assumption. What has she done or said that would make you believe this? I do think that she mentioned regret in her televised interview, she was so calm and unemotional that it just seemed like an act.
She never tried to contact the victims families (even just by writing a letter) to apologize. I'm sure that they wouldn't accept it anyways. Nothing can replace their daughters. But even just an act of reaching out to SHOW remorse would make it a little more believable.
She does see herself as a victim. She has been able to hide behind that excuse.
But that's okay. Carry on feeling sorry for a murderer who has not shown any indication that she truly is sorry. She can say so, but she hasn't shown it. Actions speak louder than words.
