I don't believe you know what their internal mental states are.

If someone knows they are sending innocent people to prison, benefits from doing so, and continues doing so we can reasonably infer they lack morality.
So given a set of actions you can infer a likely set of mental states — this is also done in the court room. Can you always infer with 100% accuracy and with every colorful detail fleshed out? No. Do you typically need to? No.
And we have we gone through that process to look at the issue from all sides and hear arguments from all parties? No.
You don't need to know intent to fire or punish someone anyway. In this case we can dismiss people for improper action, without demeaning them personally.
I agree that one should be cautious with early accusations or hopping on trains just because they are rolling.
