Boromir's character was consistently likable until he tried to take the Ring from Frodo, and even then he redeemed himself by protecting Merry and Pippin. Turin, however, was consistently stupid. I don't like to look at people's hearts, that's up to God. It's not what a person is inside that defines him, it's what he does. It doesn't matter though, Turin's dead!
