I really would like some examples. Been around the criminal justice system
50+ years & can't recall such. But i'm not running either.
Got lots. Here is 1. Cm v Celestin. Sexual Aslt case. Remanded for resentencing. Superior Court outraged at Courts 400% downward sentence. It was Brock Turner before Brock Turner right here in Centre County. "The duration of the sexual intercourse is clearly irrelevant to the defendant's guilt or innocence of this crime, and we are offended by the trial court's suggestion that the brevity of the criminal act here justifies a lenient sentence. Such a proposition finds no support in the law or the guidelines." The Court praised the athlete student rapist and attacked the victim. "The Court considered all of the circumstances of this case and all of the circumstances in which the victim finds herself and all the opportunities and circumstances that the Defendant finds himself in." Circumstances in which the victim finds herself in? The victim later killed herself. The Superior Court forced the Trial court to resentence him to years in prison versus the mitigated six months he gave him. (Brock Turner!) I have many more.
