My point Dan, is that if a jury of the representative public doesn’t think that a jail sentence-or any punishment-is applicable in these circumstances, then sentencing guidelines for when there isn’t a jury are hopelessly adrift from the reality of what the public want. Get it?
If the ‘reality of what the public want’ isn’t the person to get a fair trial and the law applied rather than a lynch mob based on frothing online opinion then god help us all.
