He paid his dues to society, as they say. He turned his life around, took responsiblity for his actions and has made of himself a better person.
I say he needs a little slack as well. You can’t erase what he did, but you don’t have to belabour the point.

In the old days, a man who had turned his life around would have been considered the best example…how the world has changed!
