Criminals have place with God.

The souls of perpetrators of significant crimes have a place with God. Their transition may be slower and more gradual, but it is always accomplished. Some souls are sufficiently connected to their earthly life that they find it difficult to move forward and may choose again to experience human life until they are more prepared for the ultimate transition toward God. All souls are different. There is no predetermined expectation that all must choose to follow God immediately after joining our side of life. For some, the decision is delayed; for others, it is relatively easy.
