Blighted futures: Actions that ruin careers

Forgive me for not sympathising with the killer, Oscar Pistorius, and British rapist, Ched Evans, whose careers might be compromised by their actions

IN the interests of total transparency, I should admit something right off the bat: I don’t have an enormous amount of sympathy for rapists and killers. I know! I’m weird like that, but there we are. I think it’s actually an allergy, because every time I hear someone expressing concern about how raping someone or killing someone affects the perpetrator’s career, I break out in extreme eye-rolling and increasingly hysterical laughter.
