It would be illogical to declare that once a person has done evil, it is not possible that they might reverse their ideological position and regret their earlier action. You might want to hold them accountable for their earlier crime, demand the payment of some kind of restitution. But it makes no sense to cut-off any avenue of them ever making things right.
This is the "justice" vs. "revenge" thing.
Justice has some utility but revenge has none at all.
I disagree about revenge having no utility. I don’t know if you’ve ever carried out an act of revenge, but it feels really good.
