This is a very good point that her life trajectory may have improved greatly and the work necessary to make that happen speaks well of her. This assumes that she repudiates the acts in question ofc. Some would vigorously defend any and all theft from big corps ... but that's another debate.
Why does any of this "humanize" her for you though? If someone hasn't committed a crime, are they less human, less real, less relatable? Genuinely curious about this.

Lots of people have turned their lives around and don't want to be judged by youthful transgressions. I'm one of them. It makes her seem more like a normal person trying to do some good than another rich person doing rich person stuff.
