I think the objective Gillian wrote with was he was a generally good person that went down a bad road. Whereas Walt was a generally bad person that went down a good road until he broke bad. There is an interesting dichotomy there.
Moreover it is a reflection of real life. Virtually no one is always good and chooses the right thing.

Jessie grieved over kids getting shot or hurt while Walt treated that as business decisions. Agreed, he wasn't perfect, but in a show where "heroes" did some really awful things Jessie is easily one of the more redeemable characters in the show.
