It's almost as if judges have very limited discretion
and must follow sentencing guidelines that are designed specifically to avoid having what feels right to any particular person at a given time play a significant role in the administration of justice.

I don't know.
I've not read the case report, or the evidence presented, or the sentencing guidelines, or the pre-sentence report. Have you?

What the fuck are you on about?
You asked me why he didn't get 14 years. I don't know. I don't have to know. You're the one suggesting that the judge got things wrong, so it's reasonable to expect that you have all the facts at your fingertips.
