I just don't think that if I was a parent of one of the victims, that I would be totally thrilled to hear about what a nice guy the murderer is. That sort of thing would probably sting a little.

I've been on that side of the fence, and no, you don't want to think of the killer as being human. Those five families won't care about any positive qualities de Greer may have, and nobody can blame them. But statements like this aren't meant for them, but for everyone else.
