| [FAILED] Criminal code amendment |
I understand why someone would want something more proscriptive, but other than banning wildly exaggerated sentences I think the variables are too many to properly codify. A guilty party could have only barely committed the offence instead, they could've shown repentance, they could've made an honest mistake instead of having a guilty mind, they could've been accessories instead of primary instigators, or maybe the crime didn't have much of an effort or damage anyone. And just like that any number of factors could affect how a sentence is determined.
