Your post reminded me of a man that was a toolpusher on a rig i worked on back in the early '80s, Michael Eugene Sharp, killed 7 , or at least was convicted of 7, there was a boy and girl, who left the rig one night that Sharp was working that they never convicted him of. And he turned into such a great christian that he tried to trade the location of the bodies for Life in Prison.
Texas, Bless their hearts, put him on the end of a needle on Nov.'97
He sure did get self-righteous when the death angel came calling for him, you would almost think that he was the victim.
