It's pretty clear that Charlie was himself a robber and probably a murderer as well, but what what Arthur did was unforgivable. Charlie also realizes that it isn't fair to draw his mildly mentally handicapped younger brother Mikey into the life of a bandit and outlaw where the most likely eventual outcome is to be shot or hanged.
