as is EVERYTHING in life, there are degrees, ambiguity, and complicated situations. legally there is the concept of the presumption of innocence. to me it would depend on a lot of factors, including history and specific charges that would need consideration. we can care about and love people who do bad things. what we shouldn't do is enable continued bad behavior.
