I'm sorry, you're wrong. The attitude of the person has to be kept separate from the crime commited. The crime must be treated unbiased.
You've never seen a court trial, have you? Your attitude and actions make a big difference. When most people are convicted of a crime, there is a range of sentencing, and your attitude and behavior make a difference whether you get the minimum or something more. It also makes a big difference in how aggressively prosecutors go after you and how many different charges they level at you.
