Hypothetically speaking

(anyone can answer, but I'm more interested in those with skepticism towards authorities)

If I ran a small business and my business is not detective work, I wouldn't be a good judge of whether or not they were innocent.

I would care less about a wrongful conviction and would care more about how open and honest they were. If they made a mistake and learned from it (I'm not saying conviction/incarceration taught them the lesson, who knows what actually taught them) and they were repentant, I would trust them over someone who said they'd never made a mistake.

I'm older, though. At my age, if you don't have flaws, you either lie, or you haven't lived. Someone who has flaws but they've made them a better person is more interesting to me.
