I have heard the same point of view as krishna. It is interesting that there are
many a purana where it seems that a quick repentance or change of face albeit the
crime or severity of attitude as been accepted as atonement. Could it be justifiable
to think that it is not  for us to judge the past in the wake of person turning
a new leaf, and therefore accord him the best of titles (it is easy for a good
person to remain  good but it is even greater for a bad person to turn good). 
Any karmas resulting from bad deeds he may nonetheless face in his own way i.e. similar
to Yudishtra's brief walk through hell before heading to heaven.
