Certainly Hitler and company are extreme examples.
What about the garden variety murderer? Rapist?
What about the Enron executive who swindled the nice little lady down the street out of her nest egg?
But, if you take a double murderer like Karla Faye Tucker of Texas who said she repented and was saved and tried to influence other convicts, I’d say God only knows.
Tucker’s last words were:
“Yes sir, I would like to say to all of you – the Thornton family and Jerry Dean’s family that I am so sorry. I hope God will give you peace with this. Baby, I love you. Ron, give Peggy a hug for me. Everybody has been so good to me. I love all of you very much. I am going to be face to face with Jesus now. Warden Baggett, thank all of you so much. You have been so good to me. I love all of you very much. I will see you all when you get there. I will wait for you.”
