can you morally condemn someone for an action, if he had no choice?

this reminds me of a movie with tom cruise and colin farrel.....
As ridiculous as
Minority Report is, it really does infact bring up the same ideas discussed here.
You know someone is going to commit murder, but if they havent actually commited the crime yet, are they still guilty? can you be 100% that the crime would have still gone through, and if u arrest them before they commit murder, then surely they can only be charged with
attempted murder...
This may become an a political and ethical issue in the future if science becomes advanced enough to predict someones actions. Not so ridiculous when u consider that we can already tell during childhood whether someone has a pre-disposition to specific diseases, or mental defects including those that can lead to acts of violence.
