It depends on the condition of one's heart, of only which God can see. God said that David was a man after mine (his) own heart. He repented, but he did not get away with his sin. God administered consequences to that sin and it was painful to both David and to God. He feels what we feel, being the righteous God that He is.
Apparently, God saw that Saul would not repent and he not only lost his position, but he lost his life. In this dispensation of grace, that is a very dangerous position to be in.
Some people love their sin more than they love God. Only God knows what is in the person's heart. Man should not be so ready to stone him, but man likewise should not be so ready to reinstate to a position of power over other people lest they consider in their own heart that it is just fine to sin without consequences.
It boils all down to what Ms B is saying about trust. We may still love a Godly love towards that person, but ... can we trust him/her anymore to do what is right in the sight of God?
