LifeHiscost Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 ___judge who release known offenders knew they would have to share in paying for the damage done by re-offenders, perhaps there would be different sentences given. And if those who demand the abolishing of capital punishment knew they must share in payment for the subsequent damages done by the repeat offenders, the same results of convictions would probably be drastically changed.

GreatLakesGramma Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Good point. However, it isn't always in their power to impose the sentence they feel is merited by the crime. One of our local judges is known to be tough on crime, and impose sentences based on what they've done, not on what they've plea-bargained down to. And the appeals court routinely throws out his sentences because they don't meet the state guidelines. Quote Catherine God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Psalm 73:26. "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you." -- C. S. Lewis
