Damien murdered Mark because he refused to ally with him, upon learning Mark was a threat Damien killed him - yes, he was angry and upset at losing a brother but it's not a redeeming factor.. if anything it is worse..

it showed that Damien can feel affection for someone, yet kill them anyway - if he truly cared for Mark he would not of murdered him.

it's like when Alan Yates tried to stop the "film" to save his girlfriend - Yates was experiencing a mental breakdown of sorts but quickly abandoned what could of been a saving moment by allowing the "film" to continue : his crimes also FAR outweigh any good his one very minor "good" action may of done.

a CM can have a very minor "pet the dog" moment, if it is countered quickly :

if someone expresses sadness at killing someone close to them, even anger, they can still easily be a CM - because any character that *truly* cares for someone else would not willing kill them (this is why murderers who kill "loved" ones can't really be seen as loving.. no relationship that ends in murder is a caring one).
