That's not quite right
bart001fr 2nd Feb 2010
Here's the way to do it.

The defense lawyer pays a small fee, (about $1000) as a bond.

If the perp reoffends the lawyer and the perp go directly to jail for a set minimum of time, no discretion of the judge. The penalty has to be hardwired into the law and the judge must not have the discretion to tone it down from the minimum which I would suggest 5 years for the first offense, doubled thereafter for each succeeding repetition, as in 5, 10, 20, 40... you get the idea! and the judge would still not have any say in the penalty if the law were well written.

Unfortunately we all know the law is there to protect the guilty. The innocent be damned!
