Seems to me this guy *needs* to lose his job…
OTOH, he has a point: do you think Joe and Jane Public want people who
have committed crimes — or their families — to end up on the public dole?
How's this:
If you commit a crime that doesn't have anything to do with your job,
then yes, I can see that.
But if you commit a crime on the job, you darn well deserve to lose it.
Especially if it's a crime against another human being.
I imagine that a lot of white-collar crimes would cause your employer to
want to be rid of you anyway; something like this, if done in the
private sector, would raise the sort of liability issues that would make
firing justifiable, IMO.
