[Platt]
How about Hussein, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Tojo, even Genghis Kahn?
Compared to the above list, are they equally moral? 

[Case]
Unless I am mistaken only two of the people on your list did jail time. I am
merely suggesting that being convicted of a crime is not a sure fire
indicator of morality one way or the other. 

Are you trying to make the point that being a non-criminal is not an
indicator of morality either? After all, four of your guys had clean
records.
