2 T What was the sentence given for offender 1 and your rationale for the sentence? As a judge, it is my duty to ensure that justice is served in a fair and impartial manner. In order to make informed decisions, I must consider all available information and take into account both the seriousness of the crime and the individual circumstances of the offender. While sentencing is never an easy task, it is essential to ensure that the punishment fits the crime and that offenders are held accountable for their actions. Based on the fact that this offender has no prior criminal record, is a productive member of society, and has a supportive family, I would sentence him to 7 years in prison followed by probation for 3 years. While the recommended sentencing range is 5 to 10 years in prison, I believe a sentence closer to the midpoint of the range is appropriate given the circumstances. The offender's status as a veteran and college graduate is taken into account, but I believe that the seriousness of the crime warrants a significant period of incarceration. I also believe that probation is appropriate in this case, as it will allow the offender to reintegrate into society and provide for his family once he has served his sentence. What was the sentence given for offender 2 and your rationale for the sentence? Given this offender's extensive criminal history and character reference, I would sentence her to 25 years in prison followed by probation for 10 years. While the recommended sentencing range is 20 years to life in prison, I believe that a sentence closer to the upper end of the range is warranted given the offender's repeated offenses and threat to society. Additionally, I believe that probation is necessary to monitor the offender's behavior once she is released from prison. The severity of the sentence may face backlash, but it is necessary to protect the community from the offender. What was your sentence given for offender 3 and your rationale for the sentence? Considering the offender's successful rehabilitation in the past, I would sentence him to 2 years in prison followed by probation for 5 years, with mandatory attendance in an inpatient rehabilitation program while on probation. While the recommended sentencing range is 1 to 3 years in prison, I believe that a longer sentence is necessary to deter the offender from committing similar crimes in the future. However, the mandatory inpatient rehabilitation program will provide him with the tools to overcome his drug addiction and reduce the likelihood of future offenses. What part of this process was the most difficult for you as the judge? Why do you think that was? As a judge, one of the most challenging aspects of the job is to ensure that justice is served in a fair and impartial manner. This involves weighing the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense, as well as considering the impact of the sentence on the offender, the victim, and society as a whole. In terms of the most difficult part of the process, I found it challenging to balance the need for punishment with the potential for rehabilitation. While it is

3 important to hold offenders accountable for their actions, it is also important to consider the potential for rehabilitation and the impact of the sentence on the offender's family and community. Ultimately, I believe that the sentences I have chosen are appropriate given the circumstances of each case. How do you think the community will react to the sentences you chose? What are the long- term ramifications of the sentences you chose? I anticipate that the community may have mixed reactions to the sentences I have chosen. While some may feel that the sentences are too lenient or too harsh, it is important to remember that the justice system aims to balance punishment with rehabilitation. It is my hope that the sentences I have given will not only punish the offenders for their crimes but also help them to rehabilitate and become productive members of society. The long-term ramifications of these sentences will depend on the actions of the offenders themselves, but my hope is that they will serve as a wake- up call for them to turn their lives around and avoid further criminal behavior.
