David Berkowitz Apologizes for His Crimes...
Copyright © AriseandShine.org
Written by David Berkowitz
As I have communicated many times throughout the years, I am deeply sorry for the pain, suffering and sorrow I have brought upon the victims of my crimes. I grieve for those who are wounded, and for the family members of those who lost a loved one because of my selfish actions. I regret what I've done, and I'm haunted by it.
Not a day goes by that I do not think about the suffering I have brought to so many. Likewise, I cannot even comprehend all the grief and pain they live with now. And these individuals have every right to be angry with me, too.
Nevertheless, I apologize for the crimes I committed. My continual prayer is that, as much as is possible, these hurting individuals can go on with their lives.
In addition, I am not writing this apology for pity or sympathy. I simply believe that such an apology is the right thing to do. And, by the grace of God, I hope to do my very best to make amends whenever and wherever possible, both to society, and to my victims.
