Been watching some american court cases on youtube.I find it weird how judges insert their personal opinion and thoughts about cases. So if a sentence can be given between 8-25 years it just depends on the judge and not the law.Very odd how much power judges have in USA.
>>215976487You can always appeal to a higher court, seems like it civil courts at the very bottom of the totem pole that seems to have all the judges that get a kick from smell their own farts, especially judges that happen to be women
>>215976487Not sure what you're watching. For criminal sentencing judges mostly follow sentencing guidelines especially if the defendants lawyer is competent. Take a charge, check mandatory minimum (if any), add up points on the circumstances of the crime via a chart and that's how many years you get. Judges sometimes go out of their way to give more time in some cases but it's uncommon. Sentencing guidelines are public for every possible crime, you can find them easily
>>215976487judges should have power its part of the political system. a judge can sentence your king if he breaks the law.but american judges are in it for the show, i respect the judge who sentenced our ABB, she is so cold its scary.https://youtu.be/YquYgqOXvWw?si=TzcI12aAsmM0cGXh
>>215976487I believe there's evidence that judges give harsher punishments if they're hungry (before lunch)
It's a feature of common law, Britain and Canada use the same system as well.
she deals with civil courts she can set the punitive damage to whatever she wants

Cases are frequently complex and have many aggravating/mitigating factors, which require human judgement to weight up and evaluate. The sentences they give are in line with sentencing guidelines, which are often quite wide to account for the sheer number of factors that may be involved.I struggle to believe it's much different under civil law.
>>215978420wtf is a civil court?a court is a court here.
>>215976487this is a larger phenomena i mean in the stranger the plot is basically a guy refusing to be performative in court so he gets executed for murder when if he begged or showed emotion he probably have gotten a manslaughter charge instead
>>215978532no crime, if you ever see judge judy there are no lawyers....you know to defend....
>>215976487American judges go full circle back to trailer trash/ghetto trash. They act like they're chosen by god to hand out his judgement, a significant amount of them actually believes this too.
