People change. Many believe in redemption too.
B maybe did a crime, did not get caught. Never paid a debt. Maybe never learned a lesson A did.
This is not just politicians. People have feelings about this too.
Frankly, I believe in being able to pay ones debt, mistakes having been made, growth, better experience acquired, and move on.
If it is minor, there should not be life long implications.
- Bostonian 7y ago"B maybe did a crime, did not get caught. Never paid a debt. Maybe never learned a lesson A did." Many crimes are not solved, and the crimes people are convicted of are a tip of the iceberg. Prosecutors commonly reduce the charge to get a guilty plea in a plea bargain. If person A has a criminal record, it's quite possible he has committed more crimes than what he has been convicted of.

- deogeo 7y ago> Prosecutors commonly reduce the charge to get a guilty plea in a plea bargain. No, commonly, they pile on every charge they can think of and come up with some ridiculous sentence for a small crime, then offer to reduce it to something reasonable in exchange for a guilty plea.
