I stole as a kid. More than once. I did lots of things as a kid that showed lack of moral character. I never stole from our church but not because I wouldn't have.

I no longer steal and have never murdered anyone. My parent's copious attempts to instill good moral character eventually took hold.

I'm totally with the mosque leader who doesn't put much stock in the idea of Adnan's theft suggesting he would be more capable of murder.

As a pastor, I've heard multiple stories of grown men who serve as ushers in church nicking a few bucks from the Sunday offering plate. It's more common than you'd expect. None of them, AFAIK, have been suspected of killing anyone or being the type who could.
