Depends on your views of the justice system. Is it prevent person from committing the crime again? Is it punish the person for the crime regardless of whether or not the punishment prevents future crimes by the person? Or is it to punish the person so others will be fearful of similar consequences?

100% the first, always the first. Other than that justice will become just a political tool.
