Are people computers? It's not always perfect, but judges ideally have leeway in sentencing because the circumstances around the same crime are always different

Are people computers? It's not always perfect, but judges ideally have leeway in sentencing because the circumstances around the same crime are always different. A person that actually understands the gravity of a crime and is remorseful shouldn't get the same sentence as someone who has no respect for the law and seems willing to repeat the same crime or similar. It's actually a pretty big complaint about mandatory minimum sentencing when it is used against poor people of color.
