I wouldn't hold out much hope for him on that account. Just my opinion.
This is true. But we still need to give him the chance. That's why I always pray for these sort of people (that is, people who hurt other people) "save them and change them, or if they won't be saved and changed, kill them before they hurt any others."
There are some crimes that deserve physical death but no crime that deserves no chance of spiritual life.
