Commentary: Should public opinion matter in sentencing of criminal cases?

Next, the Supreme Court is only impose a word on an accused person based on the facts presented by the Public Prosecutor. The trial determines what charges and how many may be brought against an accused person.

If accused people choose to plead guilty, the public prosecutor perhaps even make plea deals to reduce the charges they may encounter. As long as the reported offenses are consistent with legislation passed by parliament, the Public Prosecutor has the sole discretion to decide whether or not they violate the law.

A WELL-FUNCTIONING LEGAL SYSTEM IS Regular

The courts decide what constitutes the ideal paragraph for each situation based on the nature, number of charges brought by the trial, and the minimum and maximum words that congress has set.

How then, if the courts exercise its punishment discretion? The judges must make sure that the sentences issued are constant and principled in order for justice to be delivered.

There are numerous ways to ensure consistency in imprisonment. These include the use of punishment frameworks to help the judge exercise its judgment, the creation of the Sentencing Advisory Panel to challenge non-binding recommendations on sentencing issues, the use of sentencing precedents to ensure that similar offenders are treated equally, and more. &nbsp,

To ensure uniformity, and to prevent injustice in sentencing, it is thus essential for the judiciary to become insulated from public opinion, and to be free to exercise its discretion in a philosophical and regular manner, without fear or favour.

A distorted, arbitrary, and arbitrary justice program that can be easily influenced by the public’s opinions would be seen as biased and subjective, and it would also reduce society’s confidence. &nbsp,
