“You know, we’re talking about equal justice under the law, it would seem to me that…that needs to be somehow standardized to prevent that. But anytime you have a human factor involved, a human variable, obviously you’re going to get that.”

“Yeah. And you have to realize almost every case is different on its own facts. You can have a domestic violence case, let’s say, it’s a battery, but the perpetrator has a long criminal history of doing this or other violence versus someone who’s maybe in the mid-late 40’s, who has a clean criminal record. There’s not going to be equal justice in those two situations.”

“Right, of course. And there shouldn’t be, realistically.”
