"You've got to have some sympathy for this young man. Yes, I accept he was dishonest, but surely he is to be pitied rather than scorned for ruining his career almost before it had started."

It's not clear from your comment. Are you saying that it was right that his career was ruined almost before it had started and he should be pitied for it? Or that pity should have meant that his career was not ruined? If the latter, where would you draw the line in the sand? What criminal offences should a solicitor be able to commit and for how long after joining the Roll should they be allowed to commit it?
