I've noticed a pattern where female criminals are excused, their crimes rationalized away, and their deeds even praised.
Example? NPR recently ran two stories on an elderly female jewel thief with a rap sheet dating back to 1952. The overall tone of the articles are sympathetic, even adulatory. Judge for yourself.

There's supposed to be a movie made about here, starring Halle Berry.
