Answers

Answered by Ms. Sue
I think they should be able to use a lot of discretion. No two people are alike; one size does not fit all.

What do you think?

Answered by Laura

Answered by Ms. Sue
Why do you think that judges, prosecutors and parole board members can use their judgment?

Have you seen the play or read the book, <i>Les Miserables</i>? Jean Valjean is persecuted for stealing a loaf of bread.
