contrition

My last experience of having the name hurled at me on the street shocked me not so much in the name-calling, but the absolute lack of contrition shown even when challenged.

Nuno apologised for his reaction to the officials, including referee Rob Jones and fourth official Anthony Taylor, and had hoped his contrition would lead to leniency.

In a letter to the MSP, the committee also said he had misrepresented SNP policy and had shown “no contrition”.

In 1959, he denied Chessman clemency, saying he’d shown no contrition but rather “steadfast arrogance and contempt for society and its laws.”

He said procedures at USC and other schools — notices to students, interim suspensions, meetings with conduct officers or panels before final decisions, contrition essays and an appeals process — are common practices.
