In fact, most Criminal Justice systems and thinkers in the field are extremely leery of that kind of absolutism.

The narrative does present the characters of Kureo Mado and Kanae very differently, though. The narrative has shown Kanae as someone that has suffered loss, and is currently in a lot of pain but has been doing some foolish things as a result. He's treated pretty sympathetically in terms of how Ishida frames things -- we get a lot of glimpses showing him crying, or remembering the happy moments he's lost.

In terms of the narrative, Kureo Mado is primarily handled as a cautionary tale rather than a sympathetic character. He admits to Amon he does things that Amon wouldn't approve of, and from flashbacks we also see that Shinohara thought he went too far and tried to call him on it.
