I saw a film of Medellin in a courtroom on tonight's newscast and he was wiping away some tears. He did tell the families minutes before he was executed that he was sorry for the pain he caused them. Apparently he regretted what he did and we can hope he asked Jesus for forgiveness before he died.

What he asked of Jesus is between him and Jesus.

I'm just very pleased that the Great State of Texas arranged the meeting.

The nature of what he and his cohorts did was so hideous that it would be impossible to say as mortals whether his tears and apologies were because he was sorry for what he did, or sorry he was getting the punishment he deserves at this point.

Only God can judge his heart in that fashion...and the state of Texas just made sure that he was going to finally get his audience with that Eternal Judge. And that is exactly the tribunal he should be facing, and should have faced, IMHO, years ago over this.

"Apparently he regretted what he did and we can hope he asked Jesus for forgiveness before he died."

Nice sentiment, but in the real world, he was a monster that caused unspeakable horrors to a couple of young girls. I often times hope there IS a righteous after-life just so these monsters can BURN forever! And I hope that Jesus said, "too late; too little...join Satan in a pool of burning oil forever!!!". Screw him.
