There's a diference between a professional criminal breaking out prisoners on demand, and a psychopath spending her time tormenting victims and then trying to kill them when they resist.
1) A professional criminal breaking out prisoners bound for the BIRDCAGE.
Where they throw the likes of String Theory and Black Kaze; people with three-digit body counts and above.
Much as we like jolly old Ethan, let's not pretend that he's not indirectly complicit in the deaths of lots of people.
Unless you think Legend takes the time to apprehend just any jail-break specialist.
2)I suggest you look up the meaning of psychopath before you start throwing it about.
It has a meaning, not just a word to smear characters you don't like.
There's also a difference between a vigilante going overboard on criminals, and a criminal trying to murder a student for exposing her plot.
Neither was witnessed by independent parties, and in the latter case the entire picture is quite muddled.
Frankly, as far as actionable evidence is concerned, the vigilante has it worse; the kid can claim a slipped finger, or even having aimed past the girl in front of her to intimidate her.
All you have are allegations.
EDIT
Hell, given that Sophia was nowhere near in front of Taylor's locker when Taylor confronted her?
And that Taylor tracked her down?
It can be stated that Taylor instigated the confrontation with a vigilante looking for where to hide her equipment.
And note that given as Sophia had a twisted ankle, it's entirely plausible she could not retreat from the scene.
See how different it looks when you aren't seeing things from the PoV of a telepath?
Judges are not mind readers after all.
One of the two you do not want to team up with kids. Hint: It's not Madcap.
Funny, since the PRT explicitly disagreed with you in canon.
See Skitter, who killed Tagg, Alexandria, and more or less admitted killing Coil in front of witnesses, and was known to be a criminal warlord.
And got put on a Ward Team as part of a backroom deal.
