its too serious a crime to be forgiven. it wasnt as if he was pissed drunk and did something stupid. or it wasnt a moment of madness. this was pure calculated evil. he wanted to rape the woman and perhaps kill her because thats how he got his kicks. this is irelands version of ted bundy and ted bundy didnt display an ounce of remorse for what he did. if he did he wouldnt have killed 30+ women. you have to think of larry murphy as an addict. he was addicted to raping (and perhaps killing) because he enjoyed it.
