If you murder someone, esp. if it's something especially deplorable like a woman or child, are you never worthy of forgiveness, even if you completely change, hate your deed, wish to make up for it, become extremely sweet from the atonement, etc.?
I find the idea of never deserving forgiveness to be sad concept. :(

All things can be forgiven but you have to be truly sorry.

Murder is forgivable. Maybe not from the family of the victim.
Homicide can be justifiable. Any way you look at it, someone will be dead, and someone will be traumatized.
Forgiveness must be sought from within, not without. If you can forgive yourself for something, others should, too. Although, the way the human psyche is made up, others would forgive you before you could ever forgive yourself. Some people are harder on themselves than anyone else could be.
If someone has taken someone you love from you, it's possible that you could forgive that person, over time, if he or she is truly sorry about what happened.
Everyone deserves forgiveness in some form. Except child molesters, rapists, and men who beat their lovers/baby mama.

By us?…it must be. God will forgive whomever He will forgive…but of us it is required to forgive all men. He also promises that He will forgive ALL who repent.
Of course repenting isn’t just dropping to one’s knees and throwing the words “I’m sorry” up into the air. True repentance is a process:
1.Admit that you have sinned
2.Confess your sin to God and to whomever you wronged
3.Seek forgiveness through restitution
4.Forsake the sin…that is NEVER DO IT AGAIN
As far as restitution goes for murder, it would probably take an entire lifetime to truly pay back the dead person’s family and loved ones.

I think everyone can be forgiven. No one necessarily deserves forgiveness but the act of forgiving is much better than hating someone for their wrong actions.

If The murder was on accident,or in self defense, I could at the very least try to forgive him/her. but to deliberately kill someone. No , that's unforgivable, regardless of how long ago it was, and how they have changed.

I think if they truly feel horrible and buy the victim's family a 15 billion dollar house and a new puppy, then they could be forgiven
