uncontrite

Refusing to repent

Uncontrite means feeling no remorse or regret for wrongdoing.

Someone uncontrite refuses to apologize or acknowledge fault: He remained uncontrite even after the verdict.

The word implies a defiant or unapologetic stance where contrition would normally be expected.
