I hear what you're saying. I'm not super fond of anyone "turning themselves in to a brand", but maybe that's just because I've never been able to do it. But I would like to imagine there's room in this world for people to make mistakes and to redeem themselves.

If this man can never make himself in to more than a criminal, maybe it would be better to just end their life immediately after the crime? A life for a life? If they can bring good out of their evil, should there be a limit to how much good they can bring?

I'm not asking these questions with a specific point in mind, other than to present some additional context.
