Yep, that seems to be the way with these murderous sickos. They're "sorry", meaning sorry they got caught. And they have respect for life when it's their life.

This recent pattern [of criminologists who believe in detection and punishment] is in contrast to a generation of liberal opinion and scholarship whose aim was to minimize police intervention and lower police numbers. One might even say that this has been the hidden agenda of academic criminology since the Nineteenth Century.”

From the criminal’s point of view, criminology has served him proud.

agree. Cold blooded assination. Plain and simple.

There was another article that included a quote from a neighbor indicating possible drug use. Here's the quote, refering to perp, McEnroe:

"He would come and go all night long," Westberg said. "He'd leave ... and be back in 15 minutes."

None of them could say, "I shot the teller," "I hit another motorist," or, "I'm sorry I killed them." It's almost Clintonesque.

I have noticed the same thing. I don't think it is a conscious response to try to avoid seeming responsible, I think it is a window into their true feelings. They haven't truly accepted responsibility for their actions.
