For example, were betraying that basic principle. At the same time, the certainty part of this is really lacking, so it is stunning that under half of Violent Crimes in the United States are cleared. That is lead to an arrest. Or some other form of resolution. And for Something Like burglaries its more like 15 . It means 85 of burglaries just kind of disappear in terms of some kind of resolution. If you think about someone thinking about attempting to make a burglary, the fact only one out of seven cases is anyone brought to justice, that, unfortunately, encourages the burglaries in a way that i think prison sentences, or the length of prison sentence, dont do much to offset.

Allstar with you, adam. A nice easy one to star
Wider sentencing ranges in the country for certain offenses. What are called nonviolent offenses, judges have the power to send in someone from one year to 25 years. In certain cases. Im very comfortable with that, because i think it is our job to advocate for the result that we want. It is the defense lawyers job, and i was a defense lawyer for 20 years, so i completely understand the importance of their work, they have to advocate for their clients. Ultimately, the judge has to decide and i was talking about nancy come outside, it rests on the judges shoulders at the end of the day. The weights of the decision because they have to make it in the end. So, nancy, i will point the question to you. As it stands, we have two defenders to become prosecutors. We have many folks would agree that prosecutors have a significant role in determining the outcome of cases where defenders lives.
