He is a career criminal, who knew the rules and broke them anyway. Burglaries cost us millions each year and we all pay for it through higher premiums. People are not all good or all bad. Good people do some bad things, bad people do some good things. It doesn't mean we should not be held accountable. If this guy gets a pardon, should any criminal who does something good, like turning in other bad criminals get a pardon too? Three strikes means he should go to jail for life. I am very glad he turned the guy in, but he should still be accountable for his crimes.
