All I can say is that all these years later, when
Sirius should be both older and wiser, he still
doesn't care.  He is not sorry.  That's horrible.  

Fact is, I'd have supported prosecution of Sirius at
that point.  I don't tolerate "boys will be boys" when
the only logical conclusion that can be made is that
the victim (or "target" if you prefer) will be injured
or killed.  Believing anything else when sending
someone unprepared to face a wereworlf is willful
ignorance.
