Should this womans past matter?

[abaris]

It takes a certain kind of person to be capable of something like murder or rape, so I feel we should be very sure that they are no longer the same person before we expose the public to them again. I'm talking in general now, not this case in particular.

I'm inclined to agree on the issue of rape. But murder doesn't. Everyone saying so, isn't honest with themselves and doesn't know the majority of murder cases are family disputes getting out of hand.
