    I bet the judge would love that argument.

      Yeah he won’t. He’s there to uphold the law and whatever rich lobbying has written in it. Punishing someone lightly for that is the sensible part. Multitude of ways in which companies siphon out money from work of the people is not.

      So saying that to judge during one’s process would mean blatant disrespect to the law and result in going straight to jail.

      That being said until now we weren’t speaking about law though, but ethicality/public sentiment.

      Just in case I would like to remind the reader that law doesn’t define ethics. The fact that putting Jews into concentration camps was once legal on Germany doesn’t make it OK at the time. Neither the fact that harboring them was illegal didn’t make it unethical to do so.
