Of course, prosecute them to the fullest. Certainly.

But it's helpful not to lose a sense for the much greater harm we do to the world, to each other, and rebuff to God when we sin.  It's called by the Church "a loss of the sense of sin".

The smallest venial sin is a greater supernatural offense against God, than the greatest temporal effect of the greatest crime committed against us.

And the reason it is...is that we are absolutely "dust" compared to God, as good Catholics will once again remind themselves tomorrow on Ash Wednesday.
