It's amazing how disparate treatment by the criminal justice system can be, depending on whether a judge is capable of being (and decides to be) be sympathetic/empathetic to the wrong-doer, curious about them, decides to basically view them as a human being. A lot of people don't get that "privilege". (And to be sure, I think everybody should, not that nobody should).
