Not having a go at you personally, your wording there seems a little close to a worrying trend in the media for me to feel comfortable.
A lot of reports of these sort of thing will present the criminals as the victims. While it is true that their lives are likely to be ruined, IMHO that's really not the right way of looking at it.
You hear cries of "How could this have happened to them?", or worse, "But they are good people, really", and there's often a tendency to close ranks around them.
Now, asking "What went wrong?" is a legitimate question, but it shouldn't be taken to lessen what they've decided to do.
Again, not having a go at you personally, just pointing out a trend.
