Re: Plea Bargains And Ethics
So what you are saying, pants, is that it is the job of the prosecution to try the defendant. The job of the defence however, is to try the prosecution? I like it. And it does allow us to balance our moral standpoint.
Also, Doug, you wrote - "Can i assume that a crime that "deserves" 10 years is a different crime than one that "deserves" 20? "
Yes tou can. You can also assume that it is different than one that deserves an aquital, and therin lies the dilema. The deserved penalty is not on offer in this hypothetical scenario.
