One thing I've learned. We all "think" we know someone. Truth is, we only know part of that person. Whether or not we like, or even respect that "part" matters only to the person making the judgement. Normally, it doesn't matter to the other party.

One lesson I learned early on was that no matter how terrible the suspect was, if you looked, you could find something redeemable in their character. I always looked. Not because I wanted to redeem them, but because in order to get the confession, I often had to make some form of bond. It didn't stop me from being disgusted with them, but it opened a window for me that helped me to realize that we are all animals in the end.
