How so?

Recently pardoned silk road dude got his second chance and HN largely looked favorably at that situation (I'm not attibuting this view to you here). What makes Holmes worse, if anything?

View on HN

People ascribe some kind of Robin Hood-esque virtue to Silk Road dude, even though he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in an attempt to have 5 people murdered.

I’d rather never hear about either one ever again.

I suspect people who favor pardoning Silk Road Dude will tell you he did nothing wrong to begin with.

Sure, but prosecutors showed evidence of multiple overdose deaths via SR transactions - which Ulbricht was at least as responsible for as Holmes was for her scientist’s suicide..
