Frankly speaking, and quite frankly I am being frank about this... if I had the chance to redeem myself after commiting manslaughter, by speaking with students, I would jump at that opportunity.
Lemme think, be hounded by the media during the day with lots of pictures of me being treated as a prisoner, or reading a paperback novel?
What about lots of pictures of a guy who is sorry he killed an innocent person and getting the lucky-stars chance to show such sorrow?
Good grief, it's not like he's holding back critical information that needs to be revealed tomorrow.
I really don't care whether he ever says another word to anyone the rest of his life. Why would anyone think that his opinions are important? He's already shown to me that my values are different than his.
