"tragic" should depend on the severity of the crime versus what happened to the person.. for example, Hitler being kicked out of art school was tragic however compared to the severity of the Holocaust it was nothing.. he lost "sympathy" at that point and it's hard to see him as "tragic".

a truly tragic criminal is someone you can "feel" for (note; a sizeable majority at best, not just one person who feels "bad" for them) - so I guess the fairest way to do that is weigh the crimes they commit against the crimes committed against them.. if the crimes they commit greatly exceed those they suffered they are not very "tragic" (unless suffering from extreme mental illness etc)
