If I understand your comment, you're saying Judge Solis had "a small amount of power" with which he could have helped this woman.
But the point of the article, it seems, is that he had no power: Mandatory minimums completely tied his hands and gave him no options.
So while this is a travesty, I'm not sure the blame lays with Judge Solis.
- dsfnsdjfs 11y agoyep, just followin' orders captain', no one to blame, truly it is a travesty, but what is there to do? Yep, wonder if the I can get in a 9 hole before sundown.
- chasing 11y agoYou're assuming a whole lot of facts not in evidence, prosecutor. For one thing: I'm not sure what would happen to a judge if she or he were to simply ignore the law when it came to sentencing. (Maybe someone here does.) My assumption is that they would be penalized somehow and that, in the end, the legal sentence would be applied, anyway.
