    His trial is over and he was found guilty. I am free to judge him as I please. There is no law that says the public must pretend crimes never happened once the sentence is done. The notion is absurd.

      Never asserted that notion. Of course you’re free to do so. I am just saying it’s self righteous and not helping any one.
