Some philosophers say that everyone is always doing the best that he or she can when acting badly.  Do you agree or disagree and why?

I disagree because some people do say that they know what they are doing is wrong and they go ahead anyway.  Consider a person who murders another.  Often, when being sentenced in a court of law, convicted people admit severe wrongdoing that was willed.  The person currently is sorry, but at the time, now self-admittedly, he admits to perpetrating a wrong that he knew was wrong.  He was not doing “the best that he can when acting badly.”
