If someone can acknowledge that they were wrong and apologizes, absolutely!
ITA!! We all make mistakes in life.

Re: How open are you to rebuilding "friendships" with someone who hurt you
While I would love to have faith in these friends for trying to make amends for the past, I'm not sure if I would completely trust them again. When I was younger I know I would have opened my arms and welcomed them back unconditionally but I am older and have been burned. If you really and truly miss their friendship and are willing to give them the benefit of the doubt (after receiving an apology of course) I would take it very slowly and watch myself until I was sure that they are sincere

Honestly, I am not sure that I would. I would appreciate an apology and an attempt to make amends, but it's not clear from what you are describing that the person acknowledged hurting you in the first place.
For me, at this point in my life, I have a difficult time keeping up with the friends I have, who have always treated me well. I am not sure I would be enthusiastic about inviting someone back into my life who wasn't a good friend.
Sorry, i just wouldn't consider them worth my time at this point in my life.
I agree with both of these statements. Just not worth my time. I would wish them well and move on.
If you do decide to be friends again, proceed with caution and I hope it works out 
ETA: Most wouldn't be worth my time, but it also depends how close I was before, how long we were friends for and how bad the falling out was

I'd at least hear them out. It's worth it to see if they were once a good friend.

I would be cautious. When I've been hurt, I have a tendency to build a wall around me so as not to be hurt again. I would proceed slowly and carefully and see what happens over time. You can't go back to what was before, but, you can go forward. I don't think, however, I would ever fully trust the person who hurt me again.
