No one should ever be entirely condemned, at the very least they are something to be studied and understood. Everyone should have a path to redemption should they choose to take it. Otherwise you just create embittered, dangerous outcasts with nothing to lose. One of those people may discover they have the ability to amass great wealth and/or power quickly and don’t experience or express emotion like normal people, making them uniquely capable of exacting revenge on those that sided with media sensationalism and agenda driven prosecutors over his authentic words.
