... Was sending this person to prison the best thing to do? It just does not seem worth it

The Importance Of Plea Bargaining In Criminal Trials
... definition, a compromise. But it is a compromise that is
absolutely necessary for the judicial system to function. While it may seem
that a person who exchanges his testimony for a lighter sentence would have
sufficient motivation to lie in court the fact is that his testimony is simply
verifying the testimonies of other witnesses. In a majority of cases plea
bargains is utilized to ensure that the truly guilty criminal is punished. In
our less than perfect world, plea bargaining is easily the lesser of the evils.

... As George Pettinico states in his article " Crime and punishment:
America changes it's mind ": The media's extensive coverage of crime, especially

Capital Punishment And Religion
... have sent a clear message. Those who are compelled to commit a heinous premeditated murder must be ready to accept the consequence prescribed by law, death. Nearly 3 of 4 Americans support the death sentence as a form of punishment. The sacredness of life has been taught for centuries. One can find its teachings throughout the bible and other post modern documentaries. "Those who base their opposition to the death penalty on moral grounds argue that life is sacred and killing is always wrong, whether it is done by an individual or by the state" (Honeyman 3). It is safe to say that most of us would agree that our lives are precious, and even sacred. Most ...

Consequently, a battle has emerged between United States political and economic factions shaping popular opinions as well as government action. In the 1970’s, this conflict intensified when certain drugs became international commodities on a grand scale.
