What About Redemption?

Mel Gibson's latest film Apocalypto is garnering good reviews, with some talk that it may be a contender for the Best Picture Academy Award, but there is a problem:

Many of those who vote in the Academy have stated they will never see another Mel Gibson movie or work with him again, following a drunken anti-semitic tirade last summer. This even though he apologized twice and has stated "he doesn't want to be that man".

I just have to wonder why the same people who can plead for mercy for Stanley "Tookie" Williams, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Roman Polanski can't forgive Mel Gibson and help with his rehabilitation.
