Karrin Murphy, Chicago PD (SI)

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

I have had impure thoughts about men.

And I have committed adultery.

I have felt wrath, and have given myself to it.

I have turned to medications and alcohol to console grief that hurt me too badly.

I have sought to extract vengeance upon those who have brought harm to their neighbors. Some of them I have brought to justice; other times, I have taken the punishment into my own hands. Well sometimes it was also a case of self-preservation, but that doesn't change the facts.

I have associated with witches and wizards and others who do not heed Your word.

I have spoken harshly of, and to, my mother.

I have taken pride in what I do and who I am.

I have lied, spoken half-truths, and bluffed to reach my goals.

I have seemed to leave those I'm sworn to protect, in order to fight other battles. It was a case of dealing with the problem more thoroughly, but again, that doesn't change the facts.

And I do not foresee stopping to do any of the above.
