Certainly not judicious exercise of their discretion.
All for a victimless crime.
And rather than express some modicum of sympathy you point out the humour in the situation. (What humour, I'm not even going to begin to ask.)
I couldn't disagree with you more strongly.
>2: differing from the ordinary in a suspicious, perplexing, quaint, or eccentric way
>3: : involving trickery or deception
The overall quote agreed with me, but you removed that extra context to make it agree with you.
You also did a good job of avoiding giving a definitive answer to my question because you realize your answer sets a difficult precedent. Should "my client is a suicide risk" be a path to reduced sentencing?
I'll offer you another opportunity with your own question:
Should "my client is a suicide risk" be a path to reduced sentencing?
I answered the question in the first comment.
But either way, what do you think the response from the legal system should be in this situation? Should "my client is a suicide risk" be a path to reduced sentencing? I think that is a huge can of worms. Authorities should certainly work to protect people in their custody to prevent suicide, but I have a hard time agreeing with the idea that they have a responsibility to be more lenient against potentially suicidal defendants.
