Came across this interesting article today. While it certainly doesn't lessen the impact of all of the horrible stuff he was involved in, it's certainly an unexpected gesture for someone of such ill repute, and I only hope that this really is how he genuinely feels about himself and his life nowadays. Given his age and current prison status, I doubt very much that he would have anything to gain.
