When you make a judgement about someone you always have to decide what parts are relevent to your decision. A man can be both a loving father and a theif, to his children he may be a good person, to those he robs a bad one. Both are correct but neither of the two cases overlap. His good conduct to his children has nothing to do with his victims and so they are right to press charges against him as a criminal. Likewise his children can be understood for caring deeply about him.
What I'm trying to say is that you don't have to take the entire person into account, it's impossible. You can only judge based on what you know of them and what parts of them are relevant to you.
