If you read his statement he tells the then 11 yo daughter who was also his victim, there was a reason those things happened and he hopes she learns who he really is. A vile creepy non apology for the rape murder of her mom and he tried to kill her as well.
If his moral compass has a bearing labeled “it is written” the God he is embracing ain’t the god of forgiveness. So, his apology and appeal are as worthless as the life he chose to lead. At least, according to the God I know.
Messing with her head until the end.
