In the matter of R v _______, the magistrate (assuming local court if not then it should be judge) awarded the defendant with 100 hours of community service as opposed to the maximum sentence of 1 year gaol. In contrast, the magistrate in R v __________, awarded the defndant the maximum sentence of 1 year of gaol for the same offence. Despite the discretion given to judges, they must still stay within a sentencing guideline. *footnote - reference to course material Prue Vines _________.how much detail do i write about the case? some of them are so long ...and sometimes i go in halfway so i don't even know what people are getting charged for. is this normal or am i just stupid and i should question my legitimacy of being a law student.?.... --
