What's your point? I think it's pretty clear that he realized he was on the wrong path and turned his life around with God's help. Don't you accept the idea that sinners can repent? How does that work in your own life?
So as long as you repent it is okay to rape and strangle (but not kill) women??
I suspect he started in on the strangling..she freaked and said no..and he kept on perhaps not realizing she really meant no.
Some dude starts strangling me a YES WILL BECOME NO.
Priests diddle kids and repent..how does that work in your life. Does that make it okay???
