Indeed. In some places the label of "Murder" applies to the crime with
premeditation and malice aforethought, otherwise there is a different
label such as "Manslaughter".

Fair enough, but I do not believe a throw-away comment heard in
arguments thousands of times per day throws any light on the
offender’s state of mind.

In some contexts there is [0]. But I was not referring to any right to
be forgotten, simply to rehabilitation of offenders. Once the offender
has paid their "debt to society" they are rehabilitated and should not
be hindered from playing a full part in that society.

Absolutely; it is something to be striven towards but unlikely to be
totally achieved.
