If you can, you will perhaps be a better judge :-) A judge's job is to judge -- he will probably be more just if he acts from Wisdom and Understanding, rather than from self-righteous, holier-than-thou denial. Actions have consequences; crime evokes punishment or ideally atonement. One who administers the judgement and sentencing can do so in compassion as well as (genuine) righteousness.
