[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1064373, member: 73592"] I can see the rationale; but I doubt that I'll ever agree with mandatory sentencing as it removes nuance and discretion from those who best understand the legalities (judges). I'm also far from convinced that it makes any difference to anything, as life sentence is already an option, and more-or-less forgone conclusion anyway. Beyond the imaging of "being tough on crime" in a way that's usually counter-productive in terms of criminal justice, but very productive in terms of making conservatives feel pleased with themselves.
